--- Comment #12 from Mark Watson <watsonm@netflix.com> ---
Would it work for us to declare certain algorithms as "candidates" for becoming
required ? Then, we will promote them to required only if the desktop browsers
(say) are all successful in implementing them. And only the commonly
implemented subset of parameters would be required.

We would be justified in placing this requirement on implementors in other
environments by the evidence that several independent implementors have
successfully navigated the various minefields outlined by Ryan (i.e. 'if they
can do it, you can too').

It does seem that the only way to discover what can be commonly implemented
across platforms is by empirical experiment, but we could use the results when
they are in.
