It’d be good to have official standards 
positions<https://www.chromium.org/blink/launching-features/wide-review/#standards-positions>
 filed or at least to get Gecko and WebKit signoff on the spec PR. I agree from 
the notes that the sentiment looks positive but statements like “I don’t think 
we will regret this” are not as firm as I’d like :).

Could you add WPTs for this?

This would be shipped gated by a flag, right?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [blink-dev] Intent to Ship: Sticky user activation across 
same-origin navigations

Contact emails

Explainer
None

Specification
https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11454

Summary

This feature preserves the sticky user activation state after a page navigates 
to another same-origin page. The lack of user activation in the post-navigation 
page prevents some use cases like showing virtual keyboards on auto-focus, and 
this has been a blocker for the developers who want to build MPAs over SPAs.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the 
project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).

None
