Maciej, Darin, would you be OK with trying this out?

I'm OK with experimenting with limiting this to quirksmode. I can easily believe that limiting this behavior would fix more content than it would break. No meaningful way to get concrete evidence one way or another though without just pushing the change to real users.

I know Google apps have had a number of production releases that needed to be rolled back due to this behavior. For example, the Closure JavaScript compiler and CSS compiler would create shortened names that conflicted. These sorts of bugs are very hard to diagnose and very difficult to avoid.
