    I think this particular argument should have next to no weight when
    deciding on _web_ behaviors.  That applies to all of the embeddable
    rendering engines; interactions between them and non-web embedders
    should NOT be the web's problem.


Sure. I'm just saying that it'll be hard for us to drop the support for
other elements in practice.  I have no problem with spec not including
those elements.

Yes, I understand what you're saying.  What I'm saying is that making 
your web-facing behavior depend on what your non-web consumers want is 
bad for the web, no matter what the spec says.
