I don't think authors should be allowed to use it. User agents should

I'm not sure what <blackface> is. <marquee> should probably be done
similar to <blink>. Neither has much priority though, imo.
I agree that elements like <blink>, <marquee> and <blackface> should not
be part of the standard. But this is very likely to contradict the
requirement that it should be compatible with the web as it is today. If
these elements are removed, the standard will most likely be
incompatible - and the web will, in principle, be "broken".
I cannot see how specifying CSS based rendering requirements will make
any difference in this respect.
Your loss, I guess :-) It effectively means that we discourage people from
using the elements (it's forbidden, the elements don't event exist as far
as authors are concerned), but "require" user agents to support them so
they don't lose market share, render the web and such.
