</div>Unfortunately, no one from Microsoft officially participates in the<br>
WHATWG, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone from Yahoo here<br>
either. You might more easily get attention from Microsoft by posting<br>
to the public-html list in the W3C (although they don't post much<br>
there). Or maybe have someone from Google contact them directly for<br>
comment. This doesn't seem like a feature that any authors would be<br>
interested in beyond the biggest search engines, given the latency<br>
guarantees you'd need to make it usable.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the advice. I'll cross-post to public-html and reach out directly.</div></div>
