> death of legacy browser support

Are we including html and css on that list? I'm not sure webgl is capable of replacing them. Browsers would need to expose some sort of 2d drawing layer.

No, just old approaches instead of just using modern browser features, or even modern JS features. Not every single thing has to be WebAssembly, but it is a good starting minimum requirement, cause it basically guarantees modern versions of JavaScript. I mention WebGL and audio etc cause if HTML5 is set to replace Flash, there's still small rough edges here or there.
