           Summary: The term microtask should be defined

Currently in the HTML specification, a definition and algorithmic description
of how to perform a microtask checkpoint exists.  Additionally, we should
define what exactly constitutes a microtask.  

This could in turn be used in other specifications, such as the File API, which
could use the concept of a microtask to describe when to revoke an object URL
(Blob URL), and in IndexedDB.
