Description Ryan Sleevi 2014-05-09 00:32:10 UTC 
Raised during the W3C TAg review - https://github.com/w3ctag/spec-reviews/issues/3#issuecomment-41521737

The current specification language makes heavy use of the Promises language that was included in the WHATWG DOM spec. As Promises have migrated to ES6, concepts such as "the resolver" have moved away.

Instead, update the algorithms and language to reflect the W3C TAG's guidance on Promises ( https://github.com/w3ctag/promises-guide )

Note that the language in the guide is incomplete/not without issue, but should serve as a better conceptual point.
