Overall it feels a bit early to leave this kind of legacy as a normative part of the standard.

AFAIK there is one (or 2 depending on how you count) implementation(s) 
of the API in browsers, but Chris was worried about the number of 
content pages using the feature. I suspect many of those are demos.
