So vendors would have to documentate all their errors in order to do this
correctly? This proposal is never going to make it. Even in the specification,
it will never be implemented as vendors (1) don't like to documentate bugs and
(2) don't have enough testcases available to track them all.

Which new features are not backwards compatible? They all should be.
