Agreed with what Simon is saying.

All these are really bugs in detectability and implementations of the features. 
https://github.com/Modernizr/Modernizr/wiki/Undetectables

What we could do is try to increase the granularity of the API/tests if the API is too shallow for detecting what is useful.

Adding another meta layer of testing makes the Web Compatibility story even harder. As usual, we look at the good side of the story as in it will help us make better site, but what I'm seeing often is more on the side of 

 What is the hook that will help us to say 'Not Supported'
 because our project manager told us browser not below 
       version blah.
