I'm not sure I understand your question, so maybe you'll agree with what comes 
after (I'm not a native English speaker...)
I said that the actual feature detection only works with JavaScript APIs 
(battery, geolocation...). But not with other HTML5 features (like flexbox). 
which is actually a problem for a majority of FxOS devices, so it would be 
great that feature detection detects it ;)
Flexbox is actually well implemented in all stable browers (except for IE 
because it is complex to have it last stable version as it is not available on 
all windows).
Another problem is the use of the "const" JavaScript keyword. AFAIK, it is only 
supported by IE and Firefox. But if webapps expand to all browsers / OS, 
feature detection should detects it.

Also, I don't develop webapps for a majority of users (my apps have no ads, no 
payment). I develop them with the technologies that are easy for me to use. If 
only people with FxOS 1.3+ can use them, I don't care. I tell myself that if 
everybody acts like I do, maybe LG and others will provide FxOS update (?)

also, about this point... We already saw the problem of multiple OS versions 
with Android. I think that having a new version of FxOS every 6 months (or even 
less) is clearly not a good idea. We all know that constructors will *never* 
provide updates.

I wasn't aware of the number of FxOS devices sold in the world. 400 000 is 
great :) maybe even more this year with the European market!
