I consider it constructive asking prospective members of pre-announced WGs to provide
input specifications *before* actually starting in order to not repeat the problems we saw in:
http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/webcrypto-next-workshop

I believe Ryan Sleevi have said something similar as well.

IE 11 is Microsoft's most recent browser for their currently largest installed base of Windows.
Why does it still require a workaround?  Probably because there's limited demand for WebCrypto.

My postings in the WebID CG has only been about HTTPS Client Cert Authentication used by WebID-TLS.
You need no particular knowledge of linked data and RDF on *that* level.

Anyway, as we know, HTTPS Client Certificate Authentication is slowly but surely leaving the browser world
(Microsoft "Edge" already removed web-enrollment), so these discussions are only of historical interest.
