No, let's not "do everything". That's a bad way to make standards.
We should acknowledge that octal is used in JS today and it'll die hard in certain quarters. I don't think this was considered carefully when the decision to ban octal in strict mode was made.
If we want to support octal in strict mode, we can certainly ban crazy noctal (08, 09). If we choose to prefix, we should pick one prefix (and it should almost certainly be the same one in Python, Ruby, and CoffeeScript: 0o). Binary is plausible (0b), but after that I see no need for arbitrary-radix literals.
