Omitting the ; isn't deprecated and highly discouraged?
I guess that wasn't a good example, anyway. The one I've seen people have
the most trouble with is © -- someone presumably has originally written
Copyright © 1999 Blah blah blah
and that showed up OK for them, but later they collapsed the whitespace
between © and 1999 and forgot to double-check whether it looked OK when
it came out.

If HTML didn't have so darn much gunk built into it these days, it might've
made a really nice option. It's not really an issue of implementability at
the core, but an issue of abuse/garbaging/etc.
