No.
If people are using thing X in way A, _which is allowed by the definition of
X_, then it's really rude/unfair for a responsible standards body to turn
around and say 'ooops, now you can't use thing X in way A'.
If, on the other hand, the standards body then says 'here's a new thing Y;
don't use thing Y in way A', and people go ahead and use thing Y in way A,
then the standards body can reasonably sit back and laugh at them and blow
a raspberry at them when they complain.
