Hi,

I think some of the webkit-dev members have already replied on the Blink
thread. Just to repeat here, I think the concerns Igalia had regarding
the lack of details to implement the algorithm have been addressed in
the latest versions of the spec. We haven't checked again if the WPT
coverage is good enough now though.
