I don't see how you can describe an application that uses facilities defined in the current W3C specifications (facilities that were put there deliberately and that are implemented uninformly in a dozen products) and that uses these facilities as they were designed to be used, as "broken". We can regret the fact that it was specified it that way (that's what I mean by hindsight), but we can't pretend that it wasn't.
