Actually I use the adjective "pragmatic" (MathML) as a non-normative abbreviation for "non-strict content" (MathML3). Note that we introduced this adjective specifically to get around the adjective "legacy" that you and others rightfully considered negatively connotated. As far as I can tell, the decision of understanding "pragmatic" as negatively connotated was your private view (last time I checked pramatic is usually viewed as positive in general) and the decision to eliminate it from MathML3 spec your privilege as editor.
