Go for it. AFAIK the fact that a feature is only available in some but not all environments is considered as a "misfeature". Witness, the fact that most Emacs features (including mouse support as you obviously know) are supported under a tty. There's also been discussions to add support for tooltips, tho it's not clear exactly what this should look like, but it could begin with a command to "show tooltip at point" which could be added to the C-h map.
