Look, my concern here is purely that I don't want to have to redo the

I guess we're just at the start of the next standard,... writing code
now and assuming (and/or demanding) things to be stable is probably a
bad idea.

My concern is that when a nincompoop decided to release code
implementing the <img> tag in HTML he gave the community less than 16
hours to review before he had made it a fait accompli. As a result the
<img> tag still does not handle displays with resolutions other than
75dpi consistently twenty years later.

Once code ships it is very hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
