[w3ctag/design-reviews] Handwriting Recognition API (#591)

HIQaH! QaH! TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of Handwriting Recognition API.

Handwriting is a widely used input method, one key usage is to recognize the texts when users are drawing. This feature already exists on many operating systems (e.g. handwriting input methods). However, the web platform as of today doesn't have this capability, the developers need to integrate with third-party libraries (or cloud services), or to develop native apps.

We want to add handwriting recognition capability to the web platform, so developers can use the existing handwriting recognition features available on the operating system.

Further details:

  - [x] I have reviewed the TAG's [API Design Principles](https://w3ctag.github.io/design-principles/)
  - The group where the incubation/design work on this is being done (or is intended to be done in the future): WICG
  - The group where standardization of this work is intended to be done: unknown
  - Existing major pieces of multi-stakeholder review or discussion of this design: [GitHub issues](https://github.com/WICG/handwriting-recognition/issues)
  - Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this design:
    - Complex script text segmentation: [issue 6](https://github.com/WICG/handwriting-recognition/issues/6)
  - This work is being funded by: Google

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):

  🐛 open issues in our GitHub repo for **each point of feedback**

Thanks.
