I think the concept "consider users over authors over implementors over specifiers over theoretical purity" (http://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/#priority-of-constituencies) sums it up nicely. If one wants to put the interests of implementers _over_ users and authors - discussing concrete use cases and requirements would definitely help and should precede the formal objection, IMO.
