1) @media supports(feature)

will work out of box as it is backward compatible.

2) Media queries already support requesting capabilities of UA, e.g.
current @media (color) {} is exactly
@media supports(color) {}
I see no major differences between requesting for color support
and requesting for transition support for example.

3) There is no such thing as CSS version strictly speaking.
Each module may have its own version for example.
