to some extent chicken-egg; having a standard can also help with implementer adoption, implementations help with progressing standards. Hence the call for 2 implementations, to avoid premature progression, user adoption is not so clearly measured, is it? regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch Nokia On Mar 27, 2014, at 2:52 PM, ext Marcos Caceres <w3c@marcosc.com> wrote: > > > On March 27, 2014 at 2:23:50 PM, Mandyam, Giridhar (mandyam@quicinc.com) wrote: >> But it was implemented in Webkit - https://www.webkit.org/blog/1861/last-week-in-webkit-battery-status-api-and-form-updates/, >> which I assume allowed the Tizen implementation (see https://developer.tizen.org/dev-guide/2.2.0/). >> >> Why does this not count?

We had this happen with Widgets: lots of user agents that passed the test suite but nothing that had any market impact as none of those runtimes became real products. **I'm not saying that Tizen won't have a market impact** - just that we should not take things to Recommendation until products are in the hands of a significant set of developers and users. Making things "Rec" just because we can doesn't mean we should. > > -- > Marcos Caceres
