What makes the web beautiful is precisely that there are multiple browsers and, if you build things correctly, your sites and applications work in them all. They might not necessarily work exactly the same in them all, but they should still be able to work. There is absolutely nothing preventing you from using new features in your web applications, that’s what progressive enhancement is all about.
This is excellent advice and I’m glad to see this getting addressed nice and early in the era of customisable select elements:
always provide text content or accessible text attributes for your option elements.

This is such a brilliant idea! Why not allow an img element inside video element in order to provide a responsive, accessible poster image?
Progressive enhancement is about building something robust, that works everywhere, and then making it better where possible.
