Comment (by Otto42):

 Mmmm.. not really a big fan of this approach. I would rather there be
 consequences of using invalid data. By ignoring it or overly sanitizing
 incorrect data, then this eliminates that penalty in the search rankings
 we talked about above.

 If we want to hide such invalid data from the site+API, then that's
 acceptable, but having bad data should be a valid cause for bad results.
 Plugin authors should strive to get it right.
