Actually I use the adjective "pragmatic" (MathML) as a non-normative 
abbreviation for "non-strict content" (MathML3).
Note that we introduced this adjective  specifically to get around the 
adjective "legacy" that you and others rightfully considered negatively 
connotated. As far as I can tell, the decision of understanding 
"pragmatic" as negatively connotated was your private view (last time I 
checked pramatic is usually viewed as positive in general) and the 
decision to eliminate it from MathML3 spec your privilege as editor.
