This is achieved by communicating &#8220;signals&#8221; between the user agent (browser) and the service provider\u2019s website. Under the MySignals specification, a developer defines a signal as a URI. The protocol specification outlines how this URI is encoded into a new browser header (Sec-MS) and how the website acknowledges it to indicate support. Because this specification focuses strictly on transport and not semantics, the explicit meaning of the URI is out of scope and left entirely to the developer.<\/p>\n\n<p>This group will publish Specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n    You are invited to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/groups\/proposed\/#mysignals\">support the creation of this group<\/a>.\n    Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work.
