I'm hoping the superscripts make it less intrusive.

The idea was that it was too confusing to figure out what was supported by which version. I didn't necessarily buy it, but that was the thought.

The main problem with that is the constant incomplete state of the docs. If we ever had something we called "done", then it might work, but until then we just end up cloning incomplete information.
