RE: Use of ES5 features in teatharness.js

I am fine with this...

The normal practice that we have followed is that it's ok to use features as long as they are supported in all browsers.
For example the structured clone tests use workers, since all browsers supported this 'feature'.

Unless it's something that is specific to what you are specifically testing...

For example using onerror() should not be generally be used since it is not supported by all browsers.

Will anyone have a problem if we start using ES5 features in 
testharness.js? It will allow more precise testing of some WebIDL stuff. 
I think all browsers ship ES5 implementations these days so there 
shouldn't be a problem with compatibility.
