[whatwg] Feature requests that I've converted to bugs II

[Ian Hickson]

Over the years I've collected a number of threads on this list that were 
requesting features (as opposed to reporting bugs), and which lacked 
immediate interest from more than one browser vendor. I collected a bunch 
of them and filed bugs for them back in July:

   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2013Jul/0193.html

I've now done the same with a few more threads of feedback sent to
this list that I've looked at since then. Here are the bugs I filed
(or found already existed) this time around:

   Mechanism for allowing cloud storage providers to hook into type=file
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23497

   Make <input type=file>.files writable
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22682

   media.srcObject = aBlob, img.srcObject = aBlob
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23502

   <video>: a mechanism by which pages can indicate if their audio
   should play in the background
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23505

   <video>: Forced subtitles
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23507

   Linking to a page with a fragment identifier that causes a
   particular media element to be shown and to seek to a particular
   position
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23492

   <video>: preciseSeek()
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23493

      Depends on:
         <video> currentTime in frames rather than seconds
         https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8278

         <video> expose the frame rate and specific frames of the media resource
         https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22678

   Have a way to define low-priority style sheets (e.g. for printing)

   Media-specific scripts (<script media="">?)
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23509

   Browsers want to know when a page's scripts have finished
   'loading', even if the scripts aren't delaying the 'load' event any
   more (e.g. they do computation on startup)
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23508

   <canvas>: opaque backing stores
   https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23515
