Comment:

 Would love to understand more about why JS-based detection is preferable
 to UA detection. I do appreciate that capabilities detection plays a huge
 role in JS, but if you're looking at the complete landscape, that includes
 CSS, JavaScript AND potentially switching up program logic (ie: PHP), you
 want to have as much info as possible. If you want to do good progressive
 enhancement, you'll need the UA info as much as the JS capabilities info.
 Would love to hear more about your thinking on this.
