Communities suggested for outreach

This came from the WebExtensions CG itself. Given the wide market for browser extensions, outreach could be large...

Known or potential areas of concern

This will significantly increase our work area, in particular in horizontals: a11y, security, and privacy. Those experts are already stretched...

Anything else we should think about as we review?

Why isn't there a Working Group for this work and what is the REC track plan for Web Extensions? Or, what's the alternative to this spec?
