*Even if someone to implement them for chromium, it doesn't seem to fix the
overall problem. *Dmitry indicated that the presences of these is breaking
feature detection in browsers using WebKit (-- which is something being
heard from web developers).

who gets someone to work on them could re-add these methods back properly
under ifdef's.
