This was my thinking too.  If one format has advantages for users, and others 
have disadvantages or is associated with an old or ill-conceived way of doing 
things, I think it's only right that the better format should be promoted, 
and the lesser formats should be demoted to a "backwards compatibility" 
or "legacy" page.  And I think that'd be nice terminology to use too, to 
convey the message to the average user clearly.
