This is obviously a lot. I don't expect to get through it all in a
single meeting, let's just do what we can.

   - navigation#3 Next steps for Navigation

discuss same origin navigation (again)


   - proposals#30 Virtual Keyboard API

   <https://github.com/immersive-web/proposals/issues/30#issuecomment-1304324677>

We are making progress on enabling the native keyboard during an immersive
session. As mentioned before, it will be triggered by focusing an element
just like on a 2D page. I'm wondering if we need a flag to indicate that
the UA supports this. Most implementations won't have this feature and
there would be no way for an author to know if a keyboard was shown.
(Listening to blur events could work but feels hacky)

should WebXR have a flag and normative text for keyboard input?


   - real-world-geometry#36 Add support for semantic labels
   <https://github.com/immersive-web/real-world-geometry/pull/36> requested
   by cabanier
   <https://github.com/immersive-web/real-world-geometry/pull/36#issuecomment-1312775872>

@bialpio I reworked the PR a bit and put in a list of predefined labels.
This is the list of labels as per OpenXR.

discuss semantic labels


   - proposals#78 Allow the sites to request AR sessions using front-facing
   camera <https://github.com/immersive-web/proposals/issues/78> requested

   - anchors#79 Allow a limit of the number of active and persistent anchors
   <https://github.com/immersive-web/anchors/issues/79> - cabanier

Currently the spec does not mention any limit to the number of anchors a
site can create. On Quest, there is a significant additional load if a lot
of anchors are active so we like to limit how many can be in a scene at a
time.
