No, not yet another useless API. W3C is killing itself by allowing the extension of the web standard in a manner "Extend It Until It's Dead"
Microsoft should've not been allowed to join the W3C.
- detaro 6y ago> the extension of the web standard It's a community group document, so not a standard and not on the way to become one.

- detaro 6y agoIt's a common pattern. E.g. IETF has "informational" and "experimental" RFCs, which also are not standards, and I'm not aware of major problems with that.
