Is not really WONTFIX, nor FIXED, nor WORKSFORME... and do you really want
it marked as an open bug when it won't be implemented at all for ages
until browsers actually have feature support that would make it possible
to implement?
Sounds like a bad way to make our list of open bugs grow in a needless way
and cloud up real bug reports we can and want to fix, with bug reports
that won't be fixable for quite awhile due to external sources.
The reason WONTFIX, FIXED and WORKSFORME don't make sense is because
that isn't a bug, it's an enhancement request. Perhaps the solution is
to not include enhancements in the list of bugs by default. It's
natural that enhancement requests will sometimes sit around for ages
before they get implemented, that doesn't mean we should mark them as
resolved when they aren't.
