It is IMO not realistic to have some universal attribute that
will allow to filter all possible features of UA.
It would be nice though if UA vendors implement some
flag attribute like __ua_vendor/__ua_version for the root element.
Such an attribute may be added while parsing DOM tree.
So scripts and CSS can reliably use it as a selector .
