He didn't say it breaks content, he said it breaks compatibility - that is, Emerald has a lot of (desirable) features that the LL viewer doesn't. But your average Ruth doesn't know that, so they may buy a product and want to mod it to do something their friend on Emerald has it doing, only to find that they can't do it because they're not using Emerald. I think he means that standardizing viewer tags would be helpful for us merchants, because then we can track down such incompatibility issues much easier. The average user may not know what viewer they're using, or know how to tell the merchant. Being able to detect it on our own would save a lot of time and energy.
Also, with the exception of RLV content, I don't know of anyone that makes content that requires a specific viewer, but with LL viewers' approval rating constantly falling and third party viewers adding features asked of the Lindens months ago, it wouldn't surprise me to start seeing a few products bearing "Requires X Viewer to function", since more and more people are using those viewers anyway. If/when that day comes, viewer tags would help there too.
