I think this needs to define what the granularity of a new feature
is.  Does it count new CSS properties that are closely related to
existing ones?  New values for existing CSS properties?  Or by
features are you talking only about doing things that the Web
couldn't do before, rather than new built-in capabilities than make
existing things easier or faster to do?

Also, from a Web compatibility perspective, I don't think we can
afford to do this for features that enough other browsers are
shipping for all contexts.  We implement some (though not too many)
features because we're the last major browser to implement them; in
those cases we're generally already dealing with a bunch of content
that doesn't work in Firefox, especially on mobile, because of the
lack of those features.
