Scott, your remark seems to me to make a lot of sense. Pretty much.
Maybe not in the solution itself, but rather in its philosophy.
I mean, the missing parts you mentioned would need some extra programmatic approach, like linking (default, built-in) Javascript procedures to default CSS.

A few facts.
1. HTML4 documents and applications won't vanish overnight once HTML5 will be a standard. A better support to HTML4 will make the web a better place.

2. W3C standards have proven not to be bullet proof (among the most recent cases: http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/10/22/0310230/xml-encryption-broken-need-to-fix-w3c-standard).

3. Smart interpretation (of standards) and implementation (of browsers) in the mid- long-term are better than strict ones.
