Re: [whatwg/dom] Add caniuse info boxes like the HTML spec (#69)

Urgh, while I understand your position, I'm still resistant to doing it this way.  Even presuming a world where all the URLs were "fixed" to something reasonable, this is still fragile. It doesn't respond well to things getting a new publication; you have to update Can I Use with the new URL and then remember to update your old spec as well. It means that well-meaning updates to Can I Use from external people to point the URL more accurately can break your spec.

I'd be okay with a compromise - you can provide a URL, and any features with that URL that you don't put in your document trigger a warning.  That way, you still have to be explicit about what features you're using, and things can't disappear without your knowledge, but you're still informed if new stuff comes up without having to regularly check it out on your own. Sound okay?
