I'm surprised this is well defined behavior.

  I already saw the Stack Overflow reference cited in the article (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8318911 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8318911) many years ago, so I wasn't surprised. But I guess I can still be disappointed. Postel's Law has its limits.

    Postel or Hyrum?

      Postel. This is about me thinking it was a bad idea to make it work in the first place.

        But reason people are making it compatible with old versions of browsers is part of Hyrum's law.

  It certainly is now (HTML5 retroactively standardized a lot of quirks), but it wasn't always well-defined: https://scrappy-do.blogspot.com/2004/08/little-rant-about-microsoft-internet.html https://scrappy-do.blogspot.com/2004/08/little-rant-about-mi...
