WHATWG comments re: Float16Array + HTML Canvas

Good morning/evening,

FYI. See the comment at [1].

[1] https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/8708#issuecomment-1423026968

I suggest we reply.

Below is a first pass at such a reply:

"""
- the objective is to achieve bit depth greater than 8 bit in Canvas,
which is needed for native HDR imagery, among other things. This is
needed today.

- the suggestion to add support today for Float32Array today was with
the understanding that support for Float16Array could not be added
today because it required a change in JS

Is there a concrete timeline for Float16Array, which would cause the
Color CG to revisit its recommendations?
"""

Please provide feedback by Monday COB.

Best,

-- Pierre
