Given the data so far it would make sense to file bugs to consider removing this from WebKit / Blink, unless I'm missing something? I agree that dropping it from Webkit / Blink sounds like the best way forward, assuming they are willing. Maybe we should get the JS libraries you mentioned fixed first, to prevent this value spreading too much, and people accidentally depending on it. - Florian
