What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Static methods

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

There are new capabilities and methods available according to Web Authentication:
An API for accessing Public Key Credentials
Level 3, for example getClientCapabilities static method on PublicKeyCredentials (https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#sctn-getClientCapabilities, added in w3c/webauthn#1923) that are absent from the docs.

What did you expect to see?

I would expect the new parts of the specs to be documented to the PublicKeyCredential page.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#sctn-getClientCapabilities for example, there are more things that were recently updated that should also be reflected in the docs.

Do you have anything more you want to share?

I am happy to contribute but first wanted to check if there's maybe a reason for the page to not be up to date yet.

What's the implementation status?

Do you have an exhaustive list of the new spec methods we are missing?

[matoous]

@Josh-Cena the getCapabilities static method of PublicKeyCredential is already available in Safari. Other features, such as conditional create option are part of the specs and with very limited support, this one specifically coming in with next release of iOS / Safari. I don't have an exhaustive list but am happy to compile one based on the latest WebAuthn specs.

FWIW you can see this is supported in the compatibility data.

That would be great. There is no reason - just that we're a small team and people have their own priorities. I'm employed by MDN for example, so my priority is APIs that are in firefox.

@matoous If there is anything else new that is in a major browser but not in the compatibility data, that's a good place to start updating. Then come back and fix up the docs. As part of that we'd link to authenticatorAttachment which is documented but not linked in the data
