As I suspected, it is possible to get the goo.gl target URL without loading the

That is an idea worth exploring! Some might greatly benefit from that.
However:
(a) it might not "scale" for high volume mail flows and DNSBLs who, like
invaluement, process dozens (or more) spams per second.
(b) and this isn't going to suddenly become a feature inside of many
types of spam filtering hardware and software overnight... that could
even take years, if it could ever even gain traction? It is taking into
the decades just to get some of those software and hardware vendors to
add support for URI blacklists, or support to for adding custom 3rd
party URI blacklists. If that is taking literally decades - they are not
going to add this feature within the foreseeable future.
So please don't think for a second that this somehow makes the plans I
had described as unnecessary.
