It doesn't matter how you call it but you can't just stop "thinking in browser versions", that's a stupid meta-discussion without much practical impact.
It's browser versions the end customer uses, it's browser versions selenium tests run on and it's browser versions that are in every contract for a serious website.
The point is: In the end the customer doesn't care if you call it modern browser or html5 or interwob2.0, it has to work. The basic notion is that the customer uses a browser and not a feature in some standard called HTML5.

Look at it like this: there's the choice between a) writing a huge if/then/else for every version you can possibly encounter and b) checkig for features. I'd pick b).
