[webkit-dev] Removing the prefix from webkitPostMessage

[Adam Barth]

I've posted a patch to delete webkitPostMessage in favor of the
identically behaving, unprefixed postMessage:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96577

We've discussed this topic previously in
<http://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2012-April/020237.html>.
 In that thread, I was asked to follow the instructions in
<https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/DeprecatingFeatures>, but those
instructions are too hard.  I'm not aware of any vendor prefixes that
have actually been removed using that process.

In order to act in good faith as a browser rendering engine, we need
to be able to delete prefixed versions of APIs.  As far as I can tell,
it's time to delete the webkitPostMessage API in favor of the
identically behaving postMessage API.
