  * ''Interoperability.''  If a feature fails to garner wide-spread implementation, then web sites that use that feature might work in one user agent but not in another.  This lack of interoperability fractures the web platform, making it more difficult for users to switch from one user agent to another.  Removing WebKit-proprietary features, or at least hiding them from the web platform, often improves interoperability.

+ * ''Complexity.''  Each feature we include in WebKit increases WebKit's complexity, slowing down development of the engine.  We try to reduce the complexity cost of features, for example by using [[Modules]], but each feature still adds a non-zero cost (e.g., for project-wide improvements, like [[EfficientStrings]]).  Remove a feature often reduces the complexity of WebKit.
