How does such a system reconcile the need to be opt-in to maintain backwards compatibility with the web as it exists with the likelihood that the audience you want to reach (developers who can't be bothered to Do It Right) are just the ones who will not opt in?

That's not to say things cannot be improved, just to say this has all happened before and it will all happen again (and it is worth paying attention to what happened last time).
