[AskJS] Do specification authors and implementers listen to developers in the field?

• native-messaging-espeak-ng

  21 4 6.7 JavaScript

  Native Messaging => eSpeak NG => MediaStreamTrack

How is processing SSML an attack vector? Google provides that capability as a service - with embedded limitations on character input that are not specified. This can and should be implemented in the browser - without making an external request; native-messaging-espeak-ng, GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis.

• GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis

• captureSystemAudio

  Capture system audio ("What-U-Hear")

• persistent-serviceworker

  8 19 2.8 JavaScript

  Persistent ServiceWorker

The ServiceWorker becoming inactive in 5 minutes per MV3 is a debacle. Workarounds exist and the code to implement keeping the ServiceWorker persistent, e.g., to stream live radio station from the ServiceWorker to the client winds up not saving any resources - we have to keep something running to keep the service worker running. You would be hard-pressed to count how many issues in the wild have been filed in multiple source code repositories just on that lack of functionality - for years now, e.g., Need help to understand and use this #2.

• mediacapture-main

  1 117 7.5 HTML

  Media Capture and Streams specification (aka getUserMedia)

  

You can find rationale and discussion for each part of the spec in GitHub. As you say, there's plenty of discussion. If you actually want to understand the change, I suggest going there and engaging civilly instead of ranting here.
