I'm glad you're enthusiastic! But just to set realistic expectations: "this is less about proposing an API, and more about starting a conversation" (https://github.com/chromium/ballista). There is no guarantee that this project will go ahead, even within Chromium/Chrome.

We aren't going to standardize first, then expect buy-in from other browser vendors. We expect to have a discussion (with the web community, including web developers and browser vendors), and from there either jointly standardize/implement, or not. We won't commit to this in Chrome unless we get cooperation from the web community.
