The problem is that it is a legacy feature, much like innerHTML.
That's not a problem. Make insertHTML with the new values and
make insertAdjacentHTML with the old values just an alias to
the new ones. Or the contrary. Or whatever. But it's not because
it's shipped by MS that way that we must stick forever to such
an horrible definition...
That is actually pretty much how we do it for every feature (consider e.g.
XMLHttpRequest) because otherwise we have to duplicate too much
functionality which only increases complexity. I.e. more tests, more APIs
floating around, more documentation, backwards compatibility issues (new
duplicate APIs won't work, but the ones they reflect do), etc.
