20 Aug 2012, 19:53:01I talked to Adam Barth about this. It was Adam who proposed the getRandomValues method to the WHATWG.
Adam agreed that we should move the getRandomValues method to our API draft. I added a note for the origin of that method to the Acknowledgements section.
This method is supported by Google Chrome and Safari. It is not yet supported by Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera. There is a patch for Firefox at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440046.
