This will not make it into 3.1.4. We're releasing that tomorrow if at
all possible, and no matter how simple any change looks, it won't
make it into that release unless it's to address any "showstopper"
bugs.

Fair enough. And it's a reasonable addition. But it would only be
open for the 3-2-x tree.

Great! It would be up for a vote, but I don't see any reason why not.
The only potential for new bugs would be if any are inside the class.
In short, it's not a very far-reaching change so it should be OK for
3.2.0b1.

There isn't a decision. While I certainly understand the utility of
this, it flies in the face of a fairly important standard. If this
was an option only for local indexing, I might be more inclined to
allow it. But I won't support it as a general option--there will
suddenly be less of a reason for page authors to use the tag if
search engines will stop respecting their wishes.

I'll let Torsten or Gilles elaborate.
