It doesn't, can we please not bother with it? Especially given that

So we agree that actual support for WebForms is never going to be
complete even if a UA believes they've passed all their current tests.
It would be a good idea if we didn't have any machine claim to
conformance, as otherwise we'd have to define what that conformance
meant - you can claim support if you implement 80% of the features and
pass 90% of the relevant test-cases to those features or whatever. To
avoid having to try and specify this, it would be much better if we
simply removed the hasFeature check.
Jim.
