Keep in mind that in many cases, the user is running the latest graphics
driver for their card. Example:

Graphics
Adapter DescriptionNVIDIA Corporation -- Quadro4 900 XGL/AGP/SSE2Driver
Version1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.43.19
WebGL RendererBlocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating
your graphics driver to version NVIDIA 257.21 or newer.
GPU Accelerated Windows0. Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try
updating your graphics driver to version NVIDIA 257.21 or newer.
Note: I also have .20 installed on the same machine.

96.43.19 *is* the current version for that card (linux). The boilerplate
"NVIDIA 257.21 or newer" is nonsense as that driver doesn't work with
the Quadro4 900 XGL.
The version that I have installed on WinXP (Version: 91.36) *is* the
current WinXP driver. <http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_91.36.html>

Fact of the matter is that my Quadro4 will never support WebGL. Reason
being is that, even if the hardware supported it, nVidia will never
update the driver to do so. The card simply is too old and they would
rather sell new cards (understandably).
  The card works just fine for me; Supports OpenGL & GLX, I can rotate
my desktops in 3D, use 3D graphics for CAD and other programs, etc. So I
see no reason to go spend additional $$ to buy one simply to run WebGL.
