Re: Patches merged or staged for week 50

Hi all,

This week, I am starting to cherry-pick patches from the WHATWG spec again.
Apologies for the lengthy delay.

Following a discussion on the public-html-admin list, I will list the new
features that have been introduced through cherry-picking patches. That
will give people an opportunity to object against the introduction of the
new feature if they have a good technical reason against it, such as a
competing specification. In this case, the patches will be removed from
master and moved to a feature branch so it can get handled as an extension
spec. Note that this has been the case for the @srcset specification.

A further result of the discussions was that editors will also apply
extension specifications to HTML5.1 that have reached FPWD and that have no
competing extension specification. An example of such an extension
specification is the <main> element and we have a bug requesting merger:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20309 .

Happy New Year from you friendly editor team. :-)

Cheers,
Silvia.
