But I don't accept that idealistic advocacy regarding encoding format

we are today where the market leaders haven't yet decided what they are

a high probability that this format will be used to create future audio

Support for the element without a common codec may well become
fully supported, but pointless. Consequently and with regret I favour
removing from the spec.

ufacturers can ignore such, the only effect is that they

User demand for such UI features expressed to the manufacturer is one
way to get such features implemented. Other web specs have seen fit to

pointed out that doing so is bad practice. The most common reasons given
are:
1) I like [often off-site] links opening in a new window, others will
too.
2) When moving to another site, not opening a new window would cause my
site to disappear (sometimes accompanied with the argument that this
would confuse people).

Would perhaps a spec conformance requirement that browsers should offer
users a config option to opt out of windows being opened via target
values be an alternative? It could avoid the seemingly unwin'able
argument with authors who insist on doing this, and give users the final
say
Mozilla already offers such an opt out afaik.

this isn't currently the case for non commercial usage, the rights

Transcoding from one lossy format that is used on the web to another
results in a significant reduction in quality compared to a non lossy
source to lossy end format encoding, so you shouldn't make quality vs
file size judgements based on that type of transcoding.

"should" (in lower case) should not be read as per RFC 2119, that

I don't see that as changing anything. Documents containing content
