Status of FPWD‐identified Issues (Consensus Blockers for CR)

This is a tracking list of issues the WG labeled as critical open issues during the FPWD process that must be formally addressed before publication of a Candidate Recommendation.

Criteria for a feature to be in core: a second implementation that agrees with the design. All other features will be considered for an extension (which may be limited to one browser's implementation).
