Likely true, but as someone pointed out in another thread, it should be possible to "technically" comply with WEI enforcement, and then have a transparent abstraction layer to extract the "enforced" markup and code, exposing it to the user-facing browser to interpret like it normally would.

It's some real asinine bullshit software engineering that shouldn't be necessary, but it should work.
