I think there's good enough reason to disallow a feature when you
have the following:
1) The feature can be abused.
2) It alters the standard behavior of the browser.
3) It can be easily disabled with a modified open source browser or
browser extension.
4) It's use cases are partially covered by CSS.
5) There are existing workarounds.
6) An alternative has been proposed that has less potential for abuse,
is more powerful, and doesn't change basic browser functionality.
