RE: Adding EcmaScript Internationalization API to webplatform.org

Hi Nebojša,

Thanks for the offer.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us to be crisp and clear about how we document emergent standards-based APIs that have yet to be implemented. Off the top of my head, I am not sure we have this part of the process documented anywhere, but if not, we should. And this API could be the poster child for the correct documentation process.

Subject: Adding EcmaScript Internationalization API to webplatform.org

The v1.0 draft<http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=globalization:specification_drafts> was approved at the TC39 meeting in September, and browser vendors are working on implementations (Chrome v24 will provide full support, Chrome v22 has it but prefixed). Take a look at http://code.google.com/p/v8-i18n/w/list for a quick overview.

I would like to add documentation about the API and use cases to the webplatform.org<http://webplatform.org>. Where would be a good place to put it? Quick browse of the repository hints at:
1. http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/javascript, new subtopic Internationalization
2. http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/javascript, under subtopic of "Other concepts"

I prefer option 1, because it makes it look less optional for a developer.

Regards,
  Nebojša Ćirić
