This isn't quite true. It is quite possible to include multiple options, 
as long as one of them is universally supported. For example, you can 
support a "universal & slow" and a "sometimes & fast" solution, and 
everybody wins.

This approach is not new: MIME email does exactly that, where messages 
with HTML or rich text often also contain an alternate plain text rendering.
