I should hope everyone is. However, that doesn't change anything -- it's
still the same ecosystem, and the same content. We don't want tools
treating content different than each other, whether they are Web browsers

Now this is something I totally can agree with.

In which case I'm not sure why it's the HTML working group working on
this. Seems that W3C and IETF should collaborate on this one.
