The entirety of the prerendering feature is a very large body of work so we thought it be good to separate out parts of it, where it makes sense, for ease of review. This feature would only ship as part of a larger launch of a new prerendering mode.

We really appreciate you breaking off a smaller piece of your work to make reviewing it more manageable. In this case, though, it's a smaller piece of your work that appears to stronly depend on other work of yours being in place too. For instance, the web platform doesn't currently have *prerendering browsing contexts*, so it seems premature to expose a DOM property that can be used to distinguish them from other types of browsing contexts. Maybe we should reschedule this review for after you've requested reviews on & we've reviewed the other things you're working on that this depends on.
