--- Comment #7 from Sam Weinig <sam at webkit.org> ---
So, without the implementation aspects of the proposal, the latest proposal is:


The Experimental Features set is:

- Features that have not shipped in an official release.
- Preferred to be off by default (this means that if the experiment is disabling something, it should be phrased as a negative, e.g. Disable SQL Databases), but a stable feature waiting for an upcoming release can stay in the experimental features set on by default until has shipped.
- Stable enough that we would like people to try them out.
- A feature or bit of functionality we would like for developers to try out. 

Features that still have utility in being configurable after they ship should move to the Internal Features set.

Debug functionality or functionality never intended to ship should not be included in the Experimental Features set.
