"Version 1" of the Web Audio spec

Happy New Year!

At a recent event in London I had a chat with Chris Rogers about the
idea of defining a "version 1" of the specification. This would be a
subset of the current specification with the following aims and
advantages:

- reduce and help prioritise the current backlog of specification bugs
- help with the implementation of a fixed, rather than moving
  target
- allow us to experiment with and discuss features for future versions
  without distracting from the standardisation effort
- focus the testing effort on "version 1"
- focus the documentation effort on "version 1"

We thought of a couple of ways this could be achieved. Either by
defining a subset of the current spec's functionality (Chris mentioned
he could suggest such a subset to get the ball rolling), or by taking a
more granular approach and categorising the current functionality into
order of importance.

This is just an idea at this stage, and I'd really appreciate any
thoughts from the group - is this a good idea, and if so how could we go
about it?

Cheers,

Chris
