Conformance checkers must use the information given on the WHATWG Wiki
MetaExtensions page to establish if a value not explicitly defined in
this specification is allowed or not.

I think we should allow conformance checkers which can be run on local
files without an internet connection, but the above appears to deem them
non-conforming.
The general conformance requirements include this get-out clause, but it
isn't broad enough to cover this case:
User agents may impose implementation-specific limits on otherwise
unconstrained inputs, e.g. to prevent denial of service attacks, to
guard against running out of memory, or to work around
platform-specific limitations.
