I'm not sure how RFC 8890 compliant this proposal is. This seems to create 
a large power for site owners to dictate & control user behavior. But RFC 
8890 says that The Internet Is For End Users. This seems to work against 
that.

As a user with a rooted phone, it would be highly upsetting & disturb my 
ability to use the web if you were to create this feature & allow me, a 
legitimate user, to be locked out of pieces of the web. Trying to narrow 
down the computing world to only run on attested hardware is the definition 
of the War Against General Purpose Computing, and it much discussed in 
intelligent circles as the worst possible dystopian hell that can be 
brought against users. I hope this feature is abandoned, and if not, I hope 
it is quickly & readily subverted. This is an indignity to introduce 
against users.
