Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] CFC: Transition V1 spec to CR (#1458)

> Having two living specs has been a source of confusion for developers

Agreed. My fear is that going forward with v1 as a REC might further increase confusion, especially since v1, by the time it becomes a REC, might be quite different from the living standard that browsers will implement.

> Going to CR is part of W3C's legal process, but I understand that once we've done that for V1, we can continue with a living standard,

Is it going to CR or REC which is a prerequisite?

Going from CR to PR and then REC will probably take some substantial time and energy, at least to the chairs and editors. For instance, there will be a need to show full interoperability of the spec. There will be a need to prove that all issues related to v1 have been properly dealt with.

> we already know we want to move to a "living spec" model once v1 is done, but not for v1

I am not clear whether the group does not want to do that or cannot do that.
@ylafon, can you clarify this?
