Creating a "standard" text-representation UI widget and markup that works universally sounds like a much larger engineering effort compared to adding some code

Creating a "standard" text-representation UI widget and markup that works universally sounds like a much larger engineering effort compared to adding some code points to an existing standard, with a much larger room for errors and differences in the implementations. Perfect is the enemy of... something that (already) works :)

- TeMPOraL 11y agoWhat you said is pretty much textbook definition of short-sightedness :). Perfect is the enemy of good, therefore in things that are actually important (like critical infrastructure) we should not stop when we reach "good enough" :). Or, worse is sometimes better, but usually it's just worse.
