Is there any objection to landing the patch from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1346936 and shipping it in 55 as it stands now?
I read this thread and can see there is a lot that could and maybe should be done with writing a spec and engaging with standards orgs. But, does that block us shipping? Do we have enough test coverage and so on? And, any feedback here from the JS team?
