Is there a compat problem with supporting it in quirks mode?
I did cover this in my post. The last time we tried it, there was, but
that was a while ago.
Oh, sorry.

I stopped after going through about half of the matches. All of these are
quirks mode. I didn't find any that work in Opera/Firefox but are broken
in Chrome (i.e. rely on it being unsupported in standards mode). I didn't
find any that work in Opera but are broken in Firefox/Chrome (i.e. expect
it to work in quirks mode).
This is enough to convince me that the feature should not be supported in
quirks mode.
