This is the attitude that has kept stylesheets (and PNG and ...)
in the closet for years.
Seems to me that a whole lot of stuff took advantage of HTML 2.0 long
before RFC1866 was published.
For the nth time:
1. proposal
2. implementation experience
3. standardization
To implement a feature before it's standardized is to take on
some risk, but it's a big part of the game.
