</div>Because we'd like to keep the old elements working the way they used to,<br>
for backwards-compatibility and all that. This is often quite hard to do<br>
when you rewrite/redesign something from scratch. And even where it's<br>
possible, it might result in confusing API and/or confusing and hard to<br>
maintain code (some properties/signals/messages only applying to that<br>
mode, others only to that mode, others to both etc.). Much easier for<br>
everyone involved to just leave the old elements alone and do new ones<br>
with different behaviour and API.<br>
