Mainly I don't understand why we should add the additional text. Shane and I mostly converged in IRC by adding "to the extent possible", which I can probably live with (because that is what Mozilla does with add-ons regardless of what this spec says), but I'm still not convinced we should put this language in the protocol spec. >From the minutes[1]: """ <npdoty> "to the extent possible" is a request on organizations like Mozilla, not a requirement on a piece of software, right? <sidstamm> npdoty, sounds like it, which means maybe it shouldn't be in the TPE """ It seems to me this is compliance language and not about the protocol, which is why I don't think it should be in the protocol spec. -Sid [1] http://www.w3.org/2014/01/15-dnt-minutes
