That's a different question. I was saying we should make sure the browser
vendors care about this space at all. Requesting a specific feature be
implemented comes much later, after use case collection and API design
stages.

If the browser vendors feel like this is out of scope for their product,
then spending the (quite extensive) effort to design a solution will be
wasted. I wouldn't want anyone on this list to feel their time is wasted.

Indeed not! I should hope nobody would feel that way. The WHATWG is a venue
that is open to anyone willing to take part in relevant technical debate.
