The microdata API is "not currently planned" for Edge, "no longer pursuing" for Chrome, and "removed" for WebKit. Firefox remains the only implementer.

It also is not a very pretty API, with the custom HTMLPropertiesCollection craziness.

I think we should remove the API. Any Firefox developers want to comment?

(NOTE: this is not about removing the feature, i.e. removing the spec's advice on how to use certain attributes to mark up microdata information. You can still do that. Just use standard DOM APIs to access the resulting info.)

So this is basically https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23080, right?

The Gecko discussion for this is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=909633

@bzbarsky yeah it is, though that was filed against a W3C component so we were not aware of it. 😟 Sounds like we should remove the API then. Thank you.

Fix #208: remove the Microdata API
526cc81 
This removes the Microdata API and examples that depend on it due to
lack of interest from implementations. It does not remove the Microdata
attributes and model (which have seen adoption) or the
application/microdata+json drag-and-drop functionality (of which the
status is unclear).

Despite doing part of the implementation of this API for Presto, I'd be happy to merge this, but is there anything we should wait for before going ahead? If nobody shouts within 24 hours I'll make it so.

Looks like people didn't remove this stuff from web platform tests. :(
