The API is based on preliminary work done in the WHATWG. While the specification is feature complete and is expected to be stable, it might evolve based on implementation feedback that will be gathered as its associated test suite evolves. This test suite will be used to build an implementation report of the API; to go into Proposed Recommendation status, the group expects to demonstrate implementation of each feature in at least two deployed browsers.
