The specs last a *lot* longer than the current versions of Mozilla, Safari and IE. There's a place for making sure you have a path from the current implementations to the new standard, but this isn't it. Specifying this behaviour well isn't going to cost anything; some implementations won't be conformant for a little while, but fixing them won't break any existing applications. Besides which, each of those implementations does a different thing; how do you accurately represent that?
