And that, in particular, means discussion with those who resist it.

As a reminder, one of the core points here is coming to some broader
consensus about what we do, as a community.  If parties disagree, we
try to listen and discuss.  If people say "it's not deployable", we
try to understand why, and try to come to a useful compromise.

For my taste, the current discussion is going way too far into a
"WSC WG vs the browser vendors" mode.  That's wrong: The value of
this effort is to have as many of the affected parties as possible
-- browser vendors, users, academics, ... -- at one table, and to
come up with a useful consensus between these parties.

I'd also like to remind everybody that we will have a Candidate
Recommendation at some point.  In that phase, we'll have to show
actual implementation experience.  That is not a criterion that we
can satisfy through mere handwaving that something might be
feasible.
