Thanks.

The big thing to realise about this API is that it isn't young -- it's 
what IE has shipped for about 10 years, and what Safari has had for a bit 
less than that.

We should definitely extend the API going forward, but I'd rather wait 
until the browsers implement this set of features reliably before adding 
more features.
