Absolutely!  Being able to show examples goes a long way to being 
able to 'gently remind' the developers of the toolkits that it's 
worth doing validity checking. 

What do people think about using a daemon to send an e-mail message 
back to the feed 'authorities' upon finding validity issues?  
Assuming, of course, that the daemon would be designed not to cause 
an avalanche of repeating nag-o-grams.
