Comment (by nacin):

 Strong +1 for the wontfix.

 Imagine a ?p= URL that was made clickable, but the trailing whitespace was
 lost. http://wordpress.org/news/?p=100and would work. So would
 `http://wordpress.org/news/?p=100)`, in systems where the ) becomes
 clickable.

 That's just one specific instance. I am also for wontfix on the theory
 basis. absint() doesn't perform validation, it performs sanitization.
 We're using core PHP functions here, so this is expected behavior. I see
 no reason to modify this.
