The versioning issue on the web requires thinking about HTML as well as JS. We discussed generating script tags via document.write conditioned by object detection and the like (autoconf-style trial eval tests of new features). None of this is purely ECMA-262, it all involves something above JS in the browser, at least the DOM or even HTML.
