I know this has come up over the last few years[1] and people are mixed on the action that should be taken. I would like to bring it up again as it has bitten me a few time lately.
I seems the biggest concern is backwards compatibility of the syntax. I feel that should not stop us from fixing something that is an annoying wart and also keeping the syntax in line with how other tags work. In this thread[2] Malcolm suggested introducing a new tag and depreciating the old one which could be done by bringing something like[3] into core. Im not huge on the idea of have 2 tags that do the same thing only with slightly different syntax, but if that is the cleanest upgrade I'm +1. I think this can still be done in a backwards compatible way[4], unless I'm missing something. I hope this doesn't turn into a shed planing session, thanks!
