Sure.  Well then we might as well throw out stylesheets, trash
content negotiation, forget about accessibility, and standardize
the meteor-shower animation in an RFC.  While we're at it, we had
better change the SGML specification so it matches Netscape's
comment and attribute parsing.

I do not accept the statement "Current practice == Netscape 2.x
(more or less)".  It is akin to saying "all humans speak English
(more or less)".
