So you think it would be OK if we could never change or remove internal 
properties, even if they were no longer needed by the engine and 
somehow constrained the implementation of other stuff? It really seems 
wiser to me to head this problem off before it becomes a problem.

Well I'm sure we could figure out some back door to work around that...

But this seems like exactly the kind of bad dependency on internal 
properties that we'd like to avoid. What reason would kde help have to 
do things that normal HTML documents shouldn't?
