Our last emails crossed, obviously :) My point is it would be a clunky API if, in order to test for feature X that does not affect the DOM interface, one had to test for another unrelated feature Y. Anyway I've shared what I think I know on this topic; I'll let other people (who contrary to me are working on WebGL at the moment) give their own answers.
