Hi Folks,


Sites can use our javascript API to register site-wide and web-wide
exceptions. Currently the corresponding calls do not return any results.

Mike proposed to return promises. These would allow the engine to
call-back to a site once it has processed a javascript request.  This
renders our API more asynchronous.

IMHO there does not be a downside to this proposal. Mike posted the
changed javascript API here: https://github.com/w3c/dnt/issues/12


Unless somebody objects before our next call, I suggest to introduce
this change to our API.


Regards,

matthias
