I see the implementations list for runtimes and I believe Node.js 21.1.0 also implements the standard. Are there any implementations available via libraries for various programming languages? Is that something the open source community might do later or something the doesn't make sense?]]> <![CDATA[

Focus (change) is somewhat unique in that two elements will change state (one becomes unfocused while another becomes focused) Something like input validation might take non-trivial amounts of time, and during this time we might want to defer the focus change, but not cancel it, only defer it until we validate whatever needs to be validated.]]> <![CDATA[

There was an uproar when the MPAA joined W3C in 2014. Letting them interfere in the same way they are getting chummy with domain registrars to censor the net, needs to be stopped.

DRM is one of many fronts that need to be fought when it comes to the media corporations shaping the internet in to their own closed content delivery system.
