To some extent, spice-html5 does not support truly old browsers, so I 
think it would make sense to use ES6.  We'll probably want to couple 
this with a substantial version increment (1.0?) which will also help 
folks understand the distinction.

I'd like to be sure that a 'stock' Windows 10 box can run spice-html5. 
(A few years ago, I would have included Windows 7, but I think we're 
close enough to it's EOL that we can let it go).

So if Edge supplies the features IE lacks, then perhaps we could let 
those go.  (I think the two main issues were the lack of data uri 
support, which requires 'simulatecursor.js' and the addition of slice() 
in spicearraybuffer.js).

Cheers,

Jeremy
