Eric, this has been brought up on WhatWG, privately with several browser vendors (including someone at Apple IIRC), and we're currently working to figure out what W3 WG (possibly a new one) would be right to develop this technology.  There certainly isn't consensus yet on how to satisfy the use cases, but there are strong arguments for the input tag method.

> We don't have a very good experimental features policy and don't as a community know how to support or develop features in trunk that aren't discussed in at least some standards organization draft.

This is being discussed.  It's behind a compile time flag.  It's extremely self contained.  Both the parent bug and the document describe the repercussions of someone shipping this feature and then taking it away and web developers not handling it gracefully (worst case: runtime errors in an event handler).

Since you're having these questions, I guess Satish didn't make this stuff as clear in the bug as he should have.  I am working with him to try and make sure that we follow the spirit of the WebKit process, even though we've never formalized any policy.

I'm going to put this back in the review queue so someone can look at the meat.  Let me know if you have any further concerns, though.
