Our past experience with this sort of thing at Apple is that it led to bugs we 
didn’t find until after we shipped “final” software because they did not show 
up during earlier testing. Since then, we’ve gone out of our way to avoid 
differences, since one of the main things we want to do with non-final builds 
is to approximate the final releases as closely as possible to get useful 
testing.

To oversimplify, website developers notoriously make mistakes with these types 
of attributes doing things like version and OS checks, leading to website 
incompatibilities.

Maybe you could make your case for the usefulness of the attribute?
