bzbarsky has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn: == The W3C HTML spec is broken, and probably shouldn't be referenced == I was pretty confused by https://www.w3.org/TR/html51/browsers.html#relaxing-the-same-origin-restrictions step 7.2, as referenced from https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dom-webauthentication-makecredential step 3, because it's completely nonsensical: it causes the algorithm to _always_ throw. Then I realized that this is the W3C version of the HTML spec, which has all sorts of known issues like this. For comparison, https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#relaxing-the-same-origin-restriction step 7.2 is correct... Please reference the things that actually have the behavior you want. I guess if you have to reference W3C HTML, that makes it your problem to check that it has the behavior you want and push on its editors to fix it if it does not.
