Why can't we justify that cost? If it's as interoperable as you say it should actually be fairly easy to write down... I'm also pretty sure that because it's not written down we continue to run into issues and have a hard time defining new features that interact with hit testing or mean to adjust it (such as pointer-events). That nobody has taken the time doesn't mean it's not worth it. -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
