(Gecko and Edge implementing https://wicg.github.io/entries-api/, or something quite similar. The draft doesn't quite follow browsers. Entries API is a subset of what Blink has been shipping.) But I think some way better API than the old Chrome-only API should be implemented for Filesystem in general, and at that point also better stuff for directory upload, *and* for directory download. I'd consider the callback based, awkward to use Blink API a legacy thing. I thought it is pretty much agreed that HTML Import is deprecated, or something to not to do now. > > Microdata has very wide ongoing usage, and it would be helpful to have something clearer than the current W3C Note - which includes things that don't > work - for people to refer to.

So the only implementation of HTML Microdata API in browsers was removed recently https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=909633 because exposing the API caused web pages to break. -Olli > > cheers > > Chaals >
