Hi webkit-dev,

I would like to request WebKit's current position on the CSS Custom Highlight 
API [1]. Edge and Chrome are planning to ship this soon [2].

Safari implemented an early version of this API in 99 [3], gated behind the 
Highlight API experimental flag. It looks like it's been updated since then to 
match changes in the spec, e.g. HighlightRangeGroup has been renamed to 
Highlight. The remaining major difference between the Safari and Chromium 
implementation is that the Safari implementation doesn't yet support live 
Ranges, only StaticRanges. The API is still off-by-default, behind the 
experimental flag.

Is there anything that can be shared about WebKit's plans to further develop 
the API and eventually ship it on-by-default?

Thanks,
Dan Clark
