I thought we long ago reached the conclusion that hasFeature() is a bad API and should not be used.

Decoupling feature support from features is not something that has worked well to date. http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#dom-features -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
