Hello webkit-dev,

I'd like to solicit feedback as well as an official position from Webkit on
our proposal for the text fragment directive:
https://github.com/WICG/ScrollToTextFragment.

In summary: this is a feature that allows authors and users to craft URLs
to pages and specify a snippet of text on the page as a subresource
(visually highlighting it and scrolling it into view). Analogous to
element-id based fragment anchors but for text.

You can try this out today in Chrome Beta by enabling
chrome://flags/#enable-text-fragment-anchor.
Here's an example link:

We've been using the GitHub repo for issue tracking but happy to take
feedback (official or otherwise) in any form.

Thank you!
David
