I don't think you should think too much more about this, and  
definitely shouldn't change anything, unless the reporter of the bug  
can point you to a better reason for doing it than to comply with the  
official MetaWeblog spec.

You've got way better things to do, and most people don't give a damn  
about MetaWeblog. Those who do give a damn have already learned the  
hard way that it's half-reliable at best.

I'd say focus your time on more pressing issues and ask this guy to  
forgive the imperfections of MetaWeblog implementations around the  
world.
