CfC: publish Proposed Recommendation of Server-Sent Events; deadline November 28

The latest interop data Zhiqiang generated for Server-sent Events [All] 
indicates 102/124 passes and [<2] isolates the 22 failures with less 
than two implementations including 9 failures which are due to Web IDL 
implementation bugs (thus, not counting the WebIDL failures the pass 
rate is 111/124 or ~90%).

The non Web IDL failures are:

1. 
http://www.w3c-test.org/eventsource/dedicated-worker/eventsource-constructor-non-same-origin.htm 

2. 
http://www.w3c-test.org/eventsource/shared-worker/eventsource-constructor-non-same-origin.htm
3. http://www.w3c-test.org/eventsource/format-field-retry-bogus.htm

My take on these failures is:

#1 and #2 test the UA's error handling of URLs that cannot be resolved 
(f.ex. unsupported URL scheme, URL doesn't exist). The failures appear 
to be relatively low priority implementation bugs (see [Bug119974]) that 
seem unlikely to occur in a tested deployment.

#3 tests the UA's handling of invalid data value for the retry 
(constructor) parameter. This test actually now passes when I run it on 
FF beta 34.0 so it should be removed from [<2]. Regardless, the failure 
appears to be a relatively low priority implementation bug that seems 
unlikely to occur in a tested deployment.

As such, this is Call for Consensus to publish SSE as a Proposed 
Recommendation. If you have any comments or concerns about this CfC, 
please reply to this e-mail by November 28 at the latest. Positive 
response is preferred and encouraged, and silence will be considered as 
agreement with the proposal.

The [ED] has changed since the [CR] was published (see [Diff]) so this 
proposal assumes that if/when there is a resource commitment to include 
changes on the TR track, that will be done separately.
