Validating POST results

Now that I've got LogValidator running I've noticed some false 
positives. First of all it triggers on my Atom feeds, which are some of 
the most frequently accessed pages on my site. I'm not sure if that's 
easily fixable or not.

This next one shoudl be however. The 7th most frequently accessed 
"invalid" page is:

http://www.elharo.com/blog/wp-comments-post.php

This is a comments script and is only accessed via POST. GETting it, as 
the validator does, returns a blank page. Should the validator simply 
skip any file in the log that is accessed only via POST?

Or perhaps this script should be returning an HTTP 405 Method Not 
Allowed error instead and that's the bug the validator is complaining about?
