Proposal to Republish Selectors API Level 1 as a Superseded Recommendation (Wide Review until 2020-05-28)

Hello,

W3C Advisory Committee Representatives received a proposal to republish 
the following W3C Recommendation as a Superseded Recommendation:

     Selectors API Level 1
     W3C Recommendation 21 February 2013
     http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-selectors-api-20130221/

The following text to be added to the Status of This Document is part of 
this proposal to supersede:

[[
This specification has been superseded by DOM Review Draft — Published 
18 June 2019. For purposes of the W3C Patent Policy this Superseded 
Recommendation has the same status as an active Recommendation; it 
retains licensing commitments and remains available as a reference for 
old implementations. DOM Review Draft — Published 18 June 2019 is 
recommended for new adoption.
]]

The reason for this proposal is that Selectors API Level 1 was published 
as a Recommendation on 21 February 2013, but this API has been merged 
into the DOM Review Draft — Published 18 June 2019. The WHATWG DOM 
Review Draft is currently a W3C Candidate Recommendation, as announced 
last month:

The W3C wishes to communicate clearly the status of Selectors API to the 
Web community. As part of ensuring that the community is aware of this 
proposal, W3C invites public comments on the 
public-review-announce@w3.org mailing list [1] through 23:59, Boston 
time on 2020-05-28.

If you work for a W3C Member 
<https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Member/List>, please coordinate your 
comments with your Advisory Committee Representative. For example, you 
may wish to make public comments and have your Advisory Committee 
Representative refer to it from his or her formal review comments.

This Call for review follows section 6.9 "Declaring a W3C Recommendation 
Rescinded, Obsolete or Superseded" of the W3C Process Document:
       https://www.w3.org/2019/Process-20190301/#rec-rescind
