Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Feature policy evolution (#341)

FP is now potentially splitting into three separate standards: one for sandboxing behaviours within an iframe, one for imposing conditions on the document itself, and one for dealing with permission-requiring features.

My original points are still valid (1 and 2 in the OP), and I’d add that the TAG might do well to consider whether it’s good to bake feature-policy’s idea of developer best practice into the platform itself, and if so whether there needs to be any additional scrutiny of what that best practice is judged to be.

Most web specifications offer a new feature. Developers decide whether to use it. It’s in some sense a market mechanism with a balance of power and interests. Feature policy takes features away or constrains how a developer might use them, without the developer having much say in the matter, though ultimately maybe for the benefit of everyone?
