"At Risk" is a W3C term of art that simply indicates, for legal purposes,
that the WG is allowed to remove that feature from a CR spec without having
to return to WD; the post-removal spec can just be republished as a CR
immediately. It is solely a tool for reducing bureaucracy a little bit. It
does not actually indicate that a feature is risky in any way, or *likely*
to be removed, or have any other legal implications. (Yes, this has been a
persistent source of confusion for decades, but it's never been important
enough for anyone to make an effort to change it.)

Since the spec isn't even *in* CR yet, it doesn't even give us that
benefit, fwiw. But neither does it hurt us in any way. It's completely
reasonable to have a feature that is currently single-implementation marked
as At Risk, just in case. I don't think there's any chance of it being
removed, but you never know.

We should not be gating shipping approval on this.
