Chrome is shipping an unprefixed implementation soon, Firefox should hopefully ship unprefixed in the next release (just missed 28). Microsoft appears to be at least considering implementation, with their new IE status site showing the status as "In Development"[1]. Plan for last call status: I think we'd consider the spec primarily feature complete at this point. It seems to meet the use cases we intended. There's a lot more that could be added to a future version, but we have two compatible implementations shipping right now so it seems like a good place to stop. The only compelling thing I've seen mentioned that we should address soon is the interaction with systems where the gamepad is also used for controlling the browser UI, such as on consoles, which was discussed recently on the list[2]. There is one spec bug filed that I know describes an incompatibility between the Chrome and Firefox implementations[3]. It's not terrible for content authors to work around (if their code works in Chrome it will work in Firefox), but we should tighten the spec language to make the expected behavior there clear. I think that's the only thing that absolutely needs doing before we could get to last call status. -Ted 1. http://status.modern.ie/#/ 2. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2014JanMar/0515.html 3. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21434
