This is a specification that's the W3C version of a piece of the WHATWG HTML specification. It appears (from looking at code) to be something we implement, although I'm not sure if there are differences between the W3C and WHATWG versions, and I don't know anything about the status of our implementation. So based on a quick look, it seems like the spec pretty closely matches the relevant parts of the WHATWG HTML specification: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/comms.html (sections 9.1, 9.4, and 9.5). Given the lack of any other comments, and the fact that we appear to basically implement the spec (although we haven't quite kept up with the latest changes, e.g., the addition of initMessageEvent), I'm inclined to vote in favor without comments.

In WebApps' Call for Consensus to publish the Web Messaging Proposed Recommendation I mentioned the status of this spec vis-a-vis the WHATWG version: [[ https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2015JanMar/0848.html Cindy created a Draft PR [PR] that includes Hixie's updates since the [CR] was published (but not the PortCollection interface [PC] which is not broadly implemented). Overall, we consider the changes since the CR as non-substantive bug fixes and clarifications that align the spec with current implementations, and that the test suite tests the updated spec. See [Diff] for all of changes between the CR and the draft PR and note the draft PR's status section includes a short summary of the changes. [PR] http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-webmessaging-20150407/ [CR] http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/CR-webmessaging-20120501/ [PC] http://dev.w3.org/html5/postmsg/#broadcasting-to-many-ports [Diff] https://www.diffchecker.com/qswiibb5 ]] Regarding the Firefox implementation of this spec, Firefox is included in the Implementation Report http://w3c.github.io/test-results/webmessaging/all.html, and generally speaking does very well. -HTH, ArtB ___ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
