[webkit-dev] New feature : Network Information API

[John Knottenbelt]

Hi Gyuyoung,

This is great news! Can I ask you also to take a look at the editor's draft
http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/netinfo/#connection-interface so that you can
keep it in mind as you design the feature, since the draft will at some
point likely become the next TR.

Cheers

John
