Hey Grisha,
this all looks very interesting. Where would you like the discussion about
these proposals to take place? Should one file issues on
https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/issues and add a specific
label to them, should one respond to the entries on wicg.io or what is the
preferred way?
And I guess you guys would want to have a face to face discussion as part
of an editing meeting at TPAC as well?
