>> 1) Remove the KeyStorage API [Done] > > No, you do not have agreement of the group to do that. Please, let's not get into HTML-WG-style revert requests. You need consensus to make changes and you clearly do not have it. Mark, Consensus was reached during the Face to Face, recorded in the minutes, and reflected in the ACTION assigned to the editors - http://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/track/actions/60 . That decision was recorded, so this is not some unilateral action being taken. Your point that removing KeyStorage prevents your particular use case is noted. You can certainly make a proposal to provide text that addresses your use case. But we should not simply leave misleading or non-implemented text in place, simply because we don't (yet) have something better, let alone before we've agreed upon adding and addressing that feature. For ANY feature, and not just pre-provisioned key, if there are issues, it is BETTER to remove it from the spec and address it with follow-up proposals than to simply leave it in place "because it's easier" or "because it's convenient".
