Microsoft doesn’t want you to use Internet Explorer anymore

I agree but if the latest document is a draft? That is how lastModifiedDate ended up in those browsers in the first place. Obviously, going back would have noticed that it was removed from the spec and updated accordingly. The point is that IE has maintained backwards compatibility and Chrome has not.

That's why you don't implement anything that's a draft. Obviously easier said than done, but if you want your code to be around for a long time it's the only sensible path.

I agree in principal, but the standards can move very slow. Look at WebRTC. It is only a 'candidate recommendation'.

That's the tradeoff you have to accept if you want stable code.
