Nah, I think it'd more fun to have more browsers support this. (This is a pretty edge case thing so I don't think it's harmful to have the feature in the spec still waiting to be implemented, even though it's been many years with slow uptake. It isn't harming real page interop, since nobody relies on it. I agree that if this was something less esoteric, we should change the spec.)
