Hi Art,
For what it's worth, theFile API: Directories and System is also
implemented (and supported) by Apache Cordova[1]. The implementation
is essentially complete for mobile applications on Android, iOS and
FireOS, with nearly-complete support on Blackberry and Windows Phone.
While our plugin registry was counting downloads, it was the
most-downloaded plugin for the platform by a wide margin, so I believe
it is being used actively.
Thanks for this information Ian!
I don't know if Cordova should count as a browser implementation for
the purposes of this WG, but we are implementing the APIs and making
them available to (hybrid) web application developers.
The group has some flexibility regarding the specifics of the
interoperability criteria used to advance a spec along the
Recommendation track, but we haven't talked about the criteria for these
specs since they are still working drafts. That said, I believe all of
WebApps' Candidate Recommendations have included a "CR exit criteria"
along the lines of "the spec will not advance to Proposed Recommendation
until two or more independent implementations pass its test suite" and
our interpretation of "independent implementations" has been browsers
(and not solutions like the Cordova APIs).
