Re: Advice on extending CanvasRenderingContext2D to support Depth Streams

I hate to be the one to point at the elephant in the room, but what about
the WHATWG spec?
As far as the canvas element and its rendering context are concerned,
Chromium/Blink (and others as well, but I won't speak for them) tracks the
WHATWG specification.

Concurrent feature work happening in two separate places is dangerous, can
lead to unnecessary quarrels, politics, and even irreconcilable
incompatibilities. So please, no forking of the spec.  Peace.
