I find the argument that "the list is archived and accessible to all" not very strong, given the size of the Internet, and the vast amount of visual content related to those words you mentioned on it. On the other hand, I strongly believe in Postel's Law (aka The Robustness principle), which still helps make the Internet work: "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle I try to apply this not just to programming and Internet standards.
