'''EXAMPLES:''' ''Each various values of a given CSS property are considered individuals features where the property as a whole is considered a feature set (see [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display display]). Each attribute and methods are considered individuals features of a given API, which is a feature set. Even a methods can be a feature set if it has different signature, and each of them is an individual feature (see [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MozMobileMessageManager.getSegmentInfoForText getSegmentInfoForText]).'' | '''EXAMPLES:''' ''Each various values of a given CSS property are considered individuals features where the property as a whole is considered a feature set (see [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display display]).

The level of details to display can change with the display context. For example, if a feature set has one feature that is fully implemented, a feature that is partially implemented and a feature that is not implemented, what is the level of support for that feature set? There are three way of dispatching the same information: | |||
1. If we want a optimistic view, the answer to the question "Does the feature set is implemented?" will be "Yes". | |||
2. If we want a realistic view, the answer to the question "Does the feature set is implemented?" will be "Partially". | |||
3. If we want a pessimistic view, the answer to the question "Does the feature set is implemented?" will be "No". | |||
The three answers are acceptable, depending on the context so we need to be able to display each of the answers. | |||
The same occurs when it come to know if a group of feature sets is supported or not by one or more browsers. | |||
