so we agree, that we should add this functionality as extra code, but by
default the browsers should work the same (note the cross-browser part of
the API's reason for existing).
Then in my opinion it would be best to make sure the API works the same
cross-browser, and then we can always add extra functionality for those that
support it... I think something that Michael was already planning on (or
atleast mentioned in one of the
way-to-many-for-such-a-small-functionality-e-mails)
