__Currently, the iSPI interface only works with WebKit browsers.__

This is primarily because the spotlight effect uses the CSS [radial-gradient] property, which has not been fully standardized across browsers.

[radial-gradient]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/radial-gradient

Specifically, the spotlight uses explicitly sized gradients, which are [supported by WebKit](http://webkit.org/blog/1424/css3-gradients/), but Firefox/Gecko [are still working on them](https://bugzil.la/627885). (Opera [added new support recently](http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2011/10/07/ragnarok-css3-radial-gradients); I haven't tested it yet.)

I'll update this if I discover other browser compatibility issues, or manage to address the present ones.
