That last suggestion makes a lot of sense. It makes a lot of sense specifically because it is the opposite of what you suggested above:
> The entire purpose of a parser for addresses is to reject invalid addresses, so if your parser tolerates everything it's pointless.
- kerkeslager 1y agoThe sentence you quoted contains no suggestion for how a site should behave. It's bizarre to me that you're telling me I said things I didn't say, and then quoting things that don't say what you're claiming they say.
- derdi 1y agoIf the parser's rejection of an address doesn't influence the site's behavior, the site might as well not use the parser.
- kerkeslager 1y agoYes. Correct. I'm saying that they should not use the parser, because the only ways it can influence the site's behavior are too buggy to be useful.
