I think "identically" is probably too strong a requirement.
Perhaps minor differences don't matter.

Personally, I'd suggest "equally well" would be more useful.
Although harder to define, it would mean many more polyglot
documents, even if some practices might result in differences.

If other TAG members agree, perhaps the request to the HTML
working group could be updated.

(don't know why cc was to tag@w3.org instead of www-tag@w3.org).
