Drop caps can be relatively easy implemented using
pseudo selectors, which are ignored by older readers. I.e., you won't need to implement fallback styles, if you can live with the fact that users of older readers won't see drop caps.
You could for example use
::first-letter to apply drop caps formatting to the first letter of a paragraph or
::first-line to apply small caps to the first line of a paragraph.
