As promised earlier, here's the intent to experiment thread URL we've just sent to blink-dev: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/blink-dev/8bsAd-PsdbA
It would be greatly appreciated if you could share specifics about your decision. Some alternative designs would also help moving this discussion forward.
Thank you, Francois.

We oppose this feature and will not implement it.
We do not believe a permission prompt is a sufficient mitigation for the serious security and privacy risks raised by this specification. In addition, we think exposing direct hardware access to the web is a bad idea and compromises the device-independence of the web platform.
We can provide more details if desired but it may take a few days.

Hello WebKit Dev folks,
Following Maciej's invitation to send requests for positions on Web API proposals to webkit-dev, we would like to know WebKit's position on Web NFC: https://w3c.github.io/web-nfc/
Web NFC aims to provide sites the ability to read and write to nearby NFC devices. The current scope is limited to NDEF, a lightweight binary message format. Low-level I/O operations with the ISO-DEP protocol and Host-based Card Emulation (HCE) are not supported.
FYI, an intent to experiment will be posted soon on blink-dev. I'll update this webkit-dev thread with the URL when done.
