If the function is supposed to return true when the CSS feature is
available then it must be per document,
Or, optionally, take a context document as an argument.
I don't see how anything you're arguing is a decisive blow against a object
for redirection.
or you write really weird stuff like
iframe.contentWindow.CSS.supports(...), and inside an extension you must be
super careful to access the hostPage.window.CSS.supports because
CSS.supports inside the extension environment is going to return totally
different values.
It's not inconceivable that Chrome OS or Boot2Gecko apps (etc.) will
support fancy "app specific" CSS features that aren't available to regular
web pages (actually these things already exist like -moz-binding or
-apple-dashboard-region).
If you're suggesting it return the exact same values in all environments
then @supports (-moz-binding(...)) is going to be true in Gecko on regular
web pages which is definitely wrong since -moz-binding doesn't work there.
Similarly an embedded <iframe> inside a Dashboard widget with @supports
(-apple-dashboard-region) will evaluate to true..
