wrt #1, I believe that postMessage implements what is in the spec and webkitPostMessage additional has support for ArrayBuffers which wasn't in the postMessage spec yet but was going to be added. If the behaviors from webkitPostMessage were added to postMessage, then it coudl be removed.
wrt #2, I don't know. I think it will break some tests if you go with the spec behavior, but if you wish to try this, I don't know of any big reason not to. dave On Sun, Apr 29, 2012 at 11:01 AM, Adam Barth <aba...@webkit.org> wrote: > I read <https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/DeprecatingFeatures>, but I'm > still unsure how to proceed with removing webkitPostMessage and > aligning postMessage with the spec.
