This is really asking for a reference to xkcd 927 :)

Note that no matter how you versionate the api (heh, we could easily add
a version parameter to the current one, too) if for some reason (eg. a
new HTML5 feature allows to bypass one of the checks of the current api)
it needs to be changed, we *will* break backwards compatibility.

It is uncommon that it happens, but we have been there, and the same
situation may arise in the future, too.
In the past we managed to keep BC quite well, though.
