No, there are terrible antipatterns that browsers enable to not break compatibility. A strict performance sensitive mode for web platform (HTML/CSS/JS) is long overdue.

The argument that people will just use best practices out of sheer goodwill or even just basic competence has been thoroughly debunked. No one optimizes for performance if they are not penalized.
