Although "obvious nonsense" is subjective I've seen features rejected at face to face meetings. But there have been many more - I doubt many people put much effort into remembering the paths not travelled. Sometimes features might be better put into markup, or (for Web apps) into JavaScript, and that push-back can happen too. The push for features is coming because people are suddenly using the "open web platform" for general-purpose computing, for all sorts of new applications and for older applications (such as making printed books) that weren't previously being done using Web tools and technologies so much.
