Description Eric Roman 2014-12-11 02:43:35 UTC 
In the introduction:

"SubtleCrypto interface, which defines a common set of methods and events for dealing with initialization"

Not sure what "events" means in this context. Perhaps that wording comes from the version of the spec before Promises.
Comment 1 Eric Roman 2014-12-11 02:49:57 UTC 
Other problems in this section:

  (2) "and completing the operation to yield the final output"

--> Not the case anymore in Promise-based version of WebCrypto

  (3) "the API provides interfaces for key generation, key derivation, key import and export, and key discovery."

--> Key discovery is not covered by this document, but is part of a separate spec. Should we link to that or remove this comment?
Comment 2 Mark Watson 2015-01-05 17:38:33 UTC 
I suggest
(1)(2): "...SubtleCrypto interface, which defines a set of methods for performing common cryptographic operations."
(3) Remove key discovery from the list.
