Are you sure?

While this might be true for a significant chunk of commercial web content, this remark can't be entirely true.

[1] Wikipedia in Korean has a lot of these polyglot pages and I don't think it should/will change in the future.
To this day, [2] polyglot notation in news headlines is still common. National laws are packed with this kind
of notation and any document that contains legal citation will effectively be affected.

I don't see this going away anytime soon.
