Indeed, but I think the cost of making that change (i.e. go through the
Proposed Edited Recommendation process) is lesser than the cost of not
making it - that is putting millions of authors in having to choose
between:
 * creating valid content
 * serving content that can be view with the most widely available
browser today
 * serving content that can be properly language-annotated
