[webkit-dev] Adding Web MIDI API support to WebCore

[Maciej Stachowiak]

I think even given the "module" approach, we only want features that have cross-vendor support and/or a broad and compelling use case. I don't see evidence that this feature has either of those things, though I may be missing key information, which is why I asked my questions. I think a WebKit-only feature with only very narrow or niche interest would not be in line with WebKit project goals.

Regards,
Maciej
