To clarify our request - Digital Bazaar doesn't think a polyfill
implementation is sufficient to exit CR. We're not asking for the WG to
reconsider this. We do need two native interoperable browser
implementations.

What we are requesting is to be included in the implementation report to
demonstrate broader implementation than just the native browser
implementations. The logic being that implementation is a sort of wider
review of the technical nature of the specification and thus the more
diverse implementations that there are, the wider the review.

So, we'd like to be included in the implementation report ONLY to
demonstrate wider review, NOT to be counted towards the exit criteria.

It's up to the TAG and transition team to determine the exit criteria
implication and that can happen in parallel without being a blocker for
CR (as I expect we'll have at least two native implementations of PR and
PH).
