I think they've done the right thing here for Web MIDI. They've produced a spec, invited feedback, and confirmed that at least we don't have objections. So, are you proposing that we should give feedback on all APIs even if > they're not interesting to us? I think we should try. So, we should try to have someone carve out some time to review Web MIDI, at least to the point where we feel confident it would make sense to implement. > I'd be fine with that, but I don't think we can assume that it will be > reciprocated. > That doesn't matter.
