I'm glad this is happening. The fact of the matter is that standards codify reality, and reality means what is actually shipping in actual browsers. The W3C may not want to admit it, but they have lost the confidence of the most important implementors of the DOM spec.https://twitter.com/RReverser/status/984496824357720064 …

Speaking only for myself, how can a standard pretend to matter if nobody implements it? Of course, it's nice to have community feedback; but at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what ships to users. Implementors will always have the most influence in spec work.

Implementors should want to give some of their natural influence to direct users, especially those willing to contribute time and effort, because it makes the interoperable implementations better. Standards that shut out users entirely churn too much.
