there is a difference between a standard and a spec (which is what this is). and a spec is a slightly more formal version of thorough api docs.

Wait, so Facebook hasn't even released a reference implementation?
- foota 10y ago
  They have, but specs are a more authoritative standard than a reference implementation.
  - Cyph0n 10y ago
    Definitely, but a spec without an implementation is even worse. It's like saying "we're not invested in this idea enough to implement it". Huge red flag in my view.
