Well, the less complex solution is getting this implemented directly in browsers. There may, of course, be a less complex way to write a polyfill; we've only just begun this discussion. But we should keep in mind that it's a polyfill -- so by it's nature it is isn't meant to last forever and is a degraded form of what browsers will eventually implement natively. -- Dave Longley CTO Digital Bazaar, Inc. http://digitalbazaar.comReceived on Friday, 10 March 2017 17:09:12 UTC
