Would make sense to test that first before actually removing that part of  
the specification. That's how we usually go about removing features. If  
you're serious about testing usage of that it might be an idea to remove  
some of the legacy cruft too. I filed a bug on several browsers a while  
ago in an attempt to completely nuke <basefont>, e.g.

Didn't go anywhere so far though.
