There is no doubt that there are useful techniques for language 
evolution, and that mutually intelligible subsets is an important tool 
for language evolution in a massively distributed system, where version 
indicators cannot hope to work.

But that's a general discussion on versioning (for which I believe the 
TAG still has an open issue…). It has little to do with how the HTML WG 
should pursue polyglot.
