Hmmmm Interesting idea. But it can also give accessibility a bad name. especially since many people will put it on pages that break other browsers unnecessarily. I can see someone putting this on pages that work only with the latest browsers. That isn't appropriate, but they could do it and give 508 and W3C a bad name in the process.
