Thank you. We've been giving feedback on this API, and building demos to test parts of it. We definitely have concerns around the API, such as there being no way to set the texture size in WebGL <https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGL/pull/3752#discussion_r3058491822>, but we don't have an official positive/negative position right now.
When we have a position, we'll assign a label to https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1076. For comparison, see the current version of the translation API <https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1015> which has a negative position. Jake.
