As a followup I don't seem to be the only one thinking like this [1].
[2] comes close to what I'd like, but the last update is from 2012 and the author doesn't seem to have done a lot lately.

Hmm. None in particular, though you could just look around for some of the older resources on progressive enhancement - that's what it's called, and it used to be a recommended practice everywhere.
There's also this post, that goes into it somewhat: http://allinthehead.com/retro/367/why-is-progressive-enhancement-so-un… - also, Brad Frost has some posts about this.

He's just a guest author.
Drew McClellan is the guy behind 24 Ways (http://allinthehead.com/) and if I remember correctly this design is a couple years old now.
Sidenote, seems Chrome has now entered the "pompous Opera phase", wherein Opera users used to always ignore the fact that they're in the vast minority of web browsers and point out every browser problem they have like it's the designer's fault instead of Opera's for their random rendering bugs.
