Why is this functionality being removed from HTML5?

I would also like to understand: the status of the specification  
maturity, in particular, its closeness to being ready for LCWD; and  
the spec's implementation status.

Additionally, I don't see a direct connection to any of WebApps'  
current deliverables although I'm not familiar with this functionality:

Is the HTML WG not interested in owning this new "subspec"?
