[webkit-dev] Runtime setting for incomplete features

[Darin Fisher]

As is described in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28941, for
the Chromium project, we like to make incomplete features available
behind a command line flag to help facilitate testing.  I understand
that the norm for WebKit is to only have compile time options for new
/ incomplete features.  In some cases, runtime settings are defined,
but these generally correspond to end user preferences or the needs of
specific embedders.

At any rate, I just wanted to make sure that folks were aware that
some settings may only exist to help facilitate Chromium's goal of
shipping incomplete features, disabled by default.

Alexey asked if there are any guidelines for when these settings may
be removed.  I think the main thing is that the feature has to be
reasonably complete and enabled by default by embedders (e.g.,
Chromium) that are compiling the feature.
