I would be in favor of this. 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 (specially the msTileColor one is quite popular). I don't have the data any more, unfortunately - but could get it again if needed. The thing would be to see if it really does make sense to reuse those things in contexts where `brand-color` is to be used and not produce unexpected results. -- Marcos Caceres
