I don't think the WHATWG should restrain itself from improving the ergonomics of the web platform just because TC39 might, theoretically, be interested in a feature at some unknown future time (despite not being that interested in it for several years). 

What exactly is it about Observable that is a *language* feature that, for example, ReadableStream is not? I think it was absolutely the right choice to design that feature in WHATWG.

@benlesh is it your intention not to define an `Observable` constructor at this time? Or is that something you want to add immediately?
