Waiting in the sense of holding off on doing something?

Well, right, but there isn't now.  So how can json-ld-api proceed 
without referencing anything, even if it's not normative?

I was waiting to hear which path you guys wanted to take.   Sorry if 
that was a misunderstanding.

I think I still need to know:

    - what spec for promises will be used?

    - how exactly will the API be made non-normative -- how do we 
explain to users that there's a spec here they don't have to follow and 
might change?

Then the question for the Director will be whether that change fits 
within our At Risk warning.

Also, we can ask whether we can do Manu's thing of skipping the second 
AC review, although I think the odds of that are epsilon.
