The other issues you raise seem more like social ones. I think it makes
sense to reach out to the Apache developers to get their opinion on this
decision before going with the much more complicated design.
I'll leave that decision up to the spec's editor; I just wanted to
provide numbers to back up the earlier claim I made.
I think the model is ok as it is now. It ties in with existing authoring
practices (no need to learn a lot of things) and doesn't require an update
of your server before you can use it. Given that a lot of authors really
want this feature I'm quite convinced that clients (as in, Web browsers)
will deploy releases with this implemented pretty quickly and therefore it
will become usable in a few years. If that does not happen we can
reevaluate.
