If there will be no change without data, and no one is in the process of actively gathering data, then I'll change the spec to require the more compatible behavior for now, which is to say not throwing. This will still not be precisely compatible with how IE/WebKit work, of course, but as usual, there's no way to be compatible with everyone.
