It doesn't make sense to say that your page will render properly in a future browser that no one knows how it will look like and what bugs does fix and the new problems that will bring. You can only say "I've tested this page in the standards mode of the current version and it works fine", but you don't even know if your page is using some bug that will be fixed later and so it will break. No matter how MS ends up doing the opt-in, if you try to opt-in before testing that your page really works then some one will have problems when IE.next is released.
