It's ungodly complicated to be sure but websites from 30 years ago also still render unmodified so it's hard to say it's bad all of the time.

It isn't bad. In fact it's quite good. But it is very much a case of closing the barn door after the animals got out. You see in the standard that the effort was put to corral them back in, and I'm very glad they did, but it certainly was not free.
