Why isn't WebGL enabled in qtwebkit 2.2 build?

Howto: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/QtWebKitWebGL (just passing arg «--3d-canvas» to «build-webkit» script does the thing).
Actual PKGBUILD: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/qtwebkit

This flag compiles the WebGL support, but it is the browser that decides to use it.

WebGL support is already enabled by default in kwebkitpart (if qtwebkit is compiled with it), but kwebkitpart needs to be rebuild with qtwebkit 2.2: https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/base/kwebkitpart/repository/revisions/v1.2.0/entry/src/settings/webkitsettings.cpp#L797
This task depends upon

Isn't enabled because we use to build a project with the defaults configure options.

Do you know if this can break any video card support?

I'm not sure, but:
1) It works fine for me on the computers where i tried (free radeon drivers).
2) Browsers should enable WebGL manually, or else it will be switched off by default.
3) kwebkitpart always enables WebGL (if available) in released version (1.2.0).
4) Isn't this the [testing] repo? If it breaks for anyone, someone would report it or tell about the problem on the forum, and it can always be turned off.
5) I coldn't find any issues with that in the internet.
