Hello WebApps Working Group,

A growing number of groups is relying on WebIDL to define their APIs,
including the Device APIs and Policy Working Group (cc'd).

As some of the said specs are likely to reach PR in the upcoming months
(e.g. Geolocation?), their normative dependence on WebIDL risk to delay
their promotion to Rec if WebIDL is still at Working Draft stage.

What are the plans for stabilizing WebIDL and pushing it to Rec? The
charter has it initially at CR in Q4 2008 - which obviously hasn't
happened :)

Thanks,

Dom
