No, if it was a DOM conformant UA, you would be, however it's highly
likely not to be, if it was, there'd be no point checking any of it.

No it's not!  you're again assuming that a particular DOM method
exists based on no evidence what so ever, this is not object

It's standard ECMAScript Edition 3.0, only a subset of browsers even
attempt to support this, and advanced browsers have seperated the
script version from the browser version, so you can anything there.
