Yes. That's not a bug.
I don't understand the point of hypothetical arguments about whether a
safe flag might be useful. We already know the answer: Many of the
largest web services in the world already have one. Youtube puts
theirs right on the home page.
John, I don't think the argument is about whether it will work technically
or whether it will be used. The argument is about whether this is something
that the IETF should endorse as a Proposed Standard, which implies that
we think it will be effective.
Just to be clear: are you saying that you believe that those large web
properties already doing this has *not* been effective? I have to believe that
they have spent more time than us measuring that, and that they came to the
conclusion that it was continuing to be effective.
