I was thinking about something similar like how every single page has tooltips which is a massive pain with tons of edge cases an perf implications for something so easy to implement wrong and at the same time are just fancy title attributes. Should I write a proposal WDYT?

@domenic this would be an interesting addition to html.@sebmarkbage,@acdlite, and@brian_d_vaughn were also telling us they had to do tons of extra layouts etc to position tooltips. Probably a missing API there.2 replies 0 retweets 6 likes -

I wasn't suggesting adding them to HTML; hoping instead for exactly what you're suggesting. The positioning logic is hard; we can make that easier. The rest should be straightforward.

FWIW, the difficulty level in "adding something to HTML" and "adding a low-level API to enable userspace" isn't much different; but the impacts are massively divergent...which is why we wrotehttps://github.com/extensibleweb/manifesto …

This is part of why the infrastructure we've built out for Web Components is so damned important, e.g. Constructable Stylesheets, `::part`, Form Participation, etc. etc. You can't build things up in userspace at reasonable cost until the platform spills its guts.

...so what we have today, is libraries doing FAR too much in userland, undercutting the platform's basic value proposition (lightweightness, ephemerality, ability to work at the low-end). Our developers are drowning the web in script because we didn't put the gas on WC infra.

I have my sins to answer for -- we shouldn't have done V1 after others failed to engage through *years* of begging for V0 feedback -- but anything we do now that isn't setting limits on userland JS or providing tools to render it less necessary are bugs in our priorities

(and given what I'm seeing in traces today, the first is more necessary than the second)
