Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 +1 on `required`, of recent browser it only misses the Safari family.

 Replying to [comment:2 westonruter]:
 > I think, however, that jQuery should be used for the new functionality,
 and that the JS should be loaded from a JS file instead of inlined to PHP.

 If a JavaScript approach is taken, a feature check for `querySelector` and
 `addEventListener` would be preferable to introducing a jQuery requirement
 for the front end. For similar reasons as in comment:6, loading jQuery and
 jQuery migrate is too heavy handed.

 Uglifying and inlining during the build has worked well to allow unit
 tests of the emoji and embed JS.
