Iteration is key, it depends upon community acceptance. The current model
is hostile to this in two ways: first, the process to getting something
for users to evaluate and provide feedback and demonstrate use cases for
takes too long; second, it currently requires native impl in browsers - and
once that is done it is infinitely harder to change. Thus, together, the
two are fatal.
