Use cases

  • Browser-native behavior

    Use Math font family to rely on the platform for behavior that would otherwise require extra code or CSS complexity.

  • Progressive enhancement

    Enhance the experience where support exists while keeping a solid baseline elsewhere.

Cautions

  • Check browser support and actual product need before adding a new platform feature widely.
  • Keep feature usage understandable so future contributors know why it was chosen.

Accessibility

  • New platform features should still preserve readable defaults and robust interaction patterns.
  • Verify that enhancement paths do not leave unsupported environments with a broken experience.
