-        This document captures best practices in designing APIs that fit well into the Web platform as
-        a whole, using WebIDL [[!WEBIDL]].

-        As it currently stands, this document is nothing more than a proposal from its editor, with no
-        backing implied or otherwise from any other party.

-      <h2>Introduction</h2>
-      <p>
-        Over a relatively short period of time the number of different APIs being created for use on the
-        Web has grown at a sustained pace. In working on these interfaces, many in the community discuss
-        the benefits of certain approaches over others and reach agreement as to best practices when
-        facing a given problem.
-      </p>
-      <p>
-        Keeping track of all these gems is however difficult given the volume of work being carried on
-        in parallel and the sometimes disjointed nature of the groups involved. As a result, it can take
-        a long while and many arguments repeated almost identically before a discovered best practice
-        becomes common.
-      </p>
-      <p>
-        The goal of this document is to capture such ideas as they appear and accrete them over time so as
-        to constitute a repository of knowledge on this topic. As a guide it does not however endeavour to
-        supplant editors' brains in making decisions as to how to design their APIs, and consequently one
-        must keep in mind that the reasoning behind a specific recommendation is often more important than
-        its result. Furthermore, in some cases there may not be a single consensual best approach, and 
-        editors will need to understand the tradeoffs involved in order to pick what works for them amongst
-        a set of options.
