Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Layout Instability Metric (#393)

So another question here:  it seems like figuring out what developers should optimize for in terms of stability during load is a question that has active research.  At least, I don't think there's an agreed-upon answer for what the perfect thing to measure is.

So for this specification, it feels like there's a tension between (a) specifying something that's precisely interoperable versus (b) specifying something that can be improved on over time (e.g., where browser engines could have different opinions on what type of instability is best/worst for their users, and could improve that metric over time).

I'm curious both where you think the current spec fits along that tradeoff/continuum, and what you think advantages/disadvantages of shifting to a different point along that continuum would be.
