WebKit is a browser engine. Each vendor (e.g. Apple & Google) decides which feature to ship in their browser. Even if you added a feature to WebKit, there is no guarantee that browsers that use WebKit will ship with the feature.
Also, we tend not to accept a new Web-exposed feature unless it has been discussed and a rough consensus has been reached on standards mailing lists (e.g. W3C, whatwg). - R.
