  You'd use it the same way any other web feature without widespread browser support is rolled out--progressive enhancement, i.e. load it at runtime if heuristics indicate the necessary browser APIs are available, otherwise fall back to a "degraded" version.

    Not the parent commenter, though one thing is to support a feature that is somehow spread across some browser families and/or versions and another thing is to support a feature that is mostly unavailable on clients. It is probably not worth it form an economical point of view once you factor in the time spent developing/maintaining the feature plus (for this case) the additional required storage.
