I think the important thing is to make sure that concept is well represented somehow. Again, no disagreement on the fundamentals. However, the powers that be are asking explicitly for direct evidence of this in the wild: To quote Hixie [1]: "Is this a real use case or a theoretical one? Until we didn't support it, nobody once mentioned that it was a use case they cared about -- they only mentioned dimensions as being the issue." If I can't show Hixie that we have at least 1 website, then I can't reasonably expect him to accept this use case.
