In particular because while there are implementations that claim to 
support display: run-in trying to actually _use_ it leads to grief

What's sad is that there aren't really any good ones I've seen.  For 
example, all the ones I've seen have a yes/no entry for 
"display:run-in"... and then try to bin browsers into those bins.
