Re: [webauthn] Removing “lightning” from AuthenticatorTransport (#1294)

The "lightning" value is in the wild. I do not believe merely removing the line from the spec would compel other clients to stop publishing the value, or compel relying parties to stop relying on the value. I hope the need for it goes to zero over time, but I suspect other browsers will continue sharing "lightning" as a transport for these particular keys even past that point.

As I understand it, the point in question to resolve is whether there is more confusion by having "lightning" as part of a master list of known production transports in this specification, or to have developers search other sources not maintained by the W3C when they encounter it.
