There's a JS emulation layer, though I don't have the URL off the top of
my head.
The real question with <LAYER>, and its other proprietary friends, is:
"If we support it now, when do we stop? If people are saying "you used to
support this", we can say "yeah, but we did a complete rewrite." That's a
reasonable position. If people say "You supported this in your rewrite,
but turned it off" and we say "Yeah, because it's not a standard", they
can just reply "Well, you didn't mind about that _before_."
And so on into the future, as browsers accumulate more and more
proprietary backwards-compatibility cruft.
