Re: [W3C Web Crypto WG] Rechartering discussion

I've no idea if this would be attractive to folks but
from my very limited initial uses of webcrypto I would
like it a lot if there were synchronous equivalents
for a lot of the functions. Making it all promises might
be nice but for many applications I know that I e.g.
only want to encrypt a key and forcing async code on
everyone for that is IMO undesirable. RSA key generation
is one where only having async seems reasonable but
there must be many operations where synchronous calls
would be as quick or quicker and would lead (again IMO,
and I'm not a JS expert or purist:-) to better code
structure.
