Re: "Requirements for Powerful Features" strawman.

Well, it's normative for the other spec, and it would go into that spec's
test suite. Service Workers check that the registration algorithm fails
over HTTP, WebCrypto does the same.

This spec, in and of itself, probably can't support a test suite.

So, it's normative but not in and of itself. It's a supporting document.

I think it's worth publishing on a rec track, but I'd be fine with it
coming out through the TAG instead. +chaals,mnot for opinions.
