If it's added it should be a versionchanged, not a versionadded.
I'm also not entirely sure this should be considered a new feature and don't 
see the point of having a strict mode.  IMHO robotparser should honor what the 
robots.txt files say, and not doing so because there's an extra blank line 
doesn't strike me as a useful behavior.  Of course it shouldn't parse every 
kind of broken syntax, but the OP pointed to two fairly popular websites that 
use blank lines and that seems to indicate that blank lines are generally 
allowed.
