Search the archives as well because this conversation isn't exactly new -
it's about as old as HTML itself and there are lots of good points that
have only gotten stronger over time (accessibility wasn't even originally a
big one, for example, but it is a pretty strong one now).  If you did have
such a thing, I would think that there would have to be some sort of pretty
simple mechanism allowing the author of said component to, at a minimum,
tie back the information provided by "is=".
