Re: Sites using webkitAudioContext only

It's true that Rovio marketed this as a Chrome app when it was written (I
think at the time, only Chrome supported some of the APIs they used).  But
I wouldn't want us to do something kludgy like URL-switching behavior, and
in the LONG term I don't even want Chrome to support webkitAudioContext; I
would want us to get them to update their app, so they could use the same
unprefixed, proper-standards-code API across the board (and then could be
enabled across browsers).  We're not going to flip that switch all at once,
but it is certainly my goal.

Jer, very pleased at your response.  Where are you standing on prefixed vs.
unprefixed AudioContext support?  (Just trying to think through an
evangelism plan for once iOS7 ships.)
