Not quite. <di> is "supported" just as much as any other arbitrary 
element. It doesn't have anything to do with being proposed for quite a 
while, it has to do with the fault-tolerant nature of HTML parsers.

To verify, run this JS snippet:

	Object.prototype.toString.call(document.createElement('di'))

The result will be "[object HTMLUnknownElement]" in all modern browsers, 
even IE9.
