Other comments:

Due to complexity of revising a Recommendation under the old process, TR for this specification did not receive these latest updates informed by implementation experience, but they were incorporated into the Editor's Draft instead. This caused some unfortunate confusion among readers not closely watching the specification. To clear this confusion, supported by reinvigorated interest and process improvements for revising a Recommendation, this API is now being revived on the Recommendation Track to allow bringing the updates from the ED back to TR and to allow for further improvements using the modern streamlined publication flow.

Thank you for your review!
