It would be good to support the legacy content as its use on the Web is significant. Search I did back in Oct 2013 found these proprietary tags appeared on something like 1% of pages in Alexa's top 78K pages > 1%! Significant? Hardly. Typo? The web corpus is somewhere north of a trillion pages. 1% of that is still 10 billion+. Even for things that aren't evenly distributed, and so occur mostly on newer content, 1% is a large fraction, which people are likely to run into on a roughly daily basis. Chrome, for example, only starts considering whether a feature can be removed when its usage is under .01% (we usually prefer it to be less than .003% or so). ~TJ
