You aren`t REALLY ensuring compatability of an entire script, just the $_SERVER (etc) arrays.

There is still one LARGE difference however.  $_SERVER, $_POST, etc are all superglobal arrays, which means you don`t have to do things like:

function foo()
  {
  global $_SERVER;
  }

In your example, the user would still have to have a global ... statement in any user functions they declared.

Your example solves a LOT of problems, but not all :)
