I understand where you are coming from but I feel uncomfortable making 
this at risk (which does slate for removal) when it is in fact 
implemented, and implemented relatively well to boot!

Looking at these tests:

     http://stevefaulkner.github.io/html-mapping-tests/

If you forget about elements that are only in 5.1 (details, dialog) it 
actually looks pretty good. Sure enough, there are a few failures, but 
they don't look like showstoppers to me. The tests leave me rather 
optimistic overall.

Based on this, can you please clarify your concerns regarding 
implementability?
