Should we also add heycam to the list of authors here?

Last I checked @heycam was not interested in maintaining it. Once we get this merged we'll work with him on transferring the repository and putting redirects in place.

Reviewing this in light of the requirements for a Workstream Proposal: https://whatwg.org/workstream-policy#workstream-proposals
Items 1-6 and 9-10 seem effectively fulfilled by either this PR or the issue it resolves. After walking through th Workstream Proposal requirements with the SG, we agreed that 7 and 8 do not seem reasonable to ask for up front in a proposal. I agree the waive those two requirements for this PR, and we will likely file an issue to remove them.
I also approve on the substance of the PR, and I believe WebKit would be interested in implementing this spec (and in fact already has a partial implementation).
