Another option is to ship a WinXP-specific Firefox build that doesn't provide 
ICU and ECMAScript's Intl functionality.

This would break anyone's expectation that any version of Firefox past the 
mid-30s somewhere has Intl available in it.  I don't know if anyone makes such 
expectations rather than feature-detecting.

Also this would make the story http://caniuse.com/ and similar sites try to 
tell have an asterisk by it, or something rather ugly.  Given it's WinXP only 
(and Firefox for Android's recalcitrance ;-) may potentially be broken out into 
its own column by such sites), it seems to me that particular tradeoff is a bad 
one versus claiming full support everywhere.

But it's another option, and arguably the least work that lets us improve our 
internationalization support at the same rate ICU improves.
