"When you start using a seemingly mature HTML5 api, and find that it doesn't work as expected in all browsers, what recourse does one have?"

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=67587

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=178297

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102914
