This list is in the wrong order I reckon.

I think that's the only sane approach.  Start by rejecting them (as long as one
major browser does that they won't be commonly used, or even at all, anyways),
and change course iff adoption changes going forward.  I can't imagine there
being more than an academical interest in actually using this, so I wouldn't be
surprised if the change in wording doesn't change much in practice.
