I was saying we should make sure the browser vendors care about this space at all. Requesting a specific feature be implemented comes much later, after use case collection and API design stages. If the browser vendors feel like this is out of scope for their product, then spending the (quite extensive) effort to design a solution will be wasted. I wouldn't want anyone on this list to feel their time is wasted. I would certainly not seek to stifle debate or censor someone else from > having their say. > Indeed not! I should hope nobody would feel that way. The WHATWG is a venue that is open to anyone willing to take part in relevant technical debate. -- -- Ian Hickson 😸
