Alex: ...

kenneth: Why couldn't this be the metadata to the map?

David: i don't understand why ... this design.

Alex: so sitemap.xxx for modules?

kenneth: Seems to be other things for metadata you might need for your modules.

Hadley: if there is a bottleneck ... explainer says - this is a problem, this is the solution. Does not explain why or what else was considered.

Alex: I think it's a good point. I will go back and talk to the requestor's manager.

David: I was also starting to write a comment - i'll add that.

kenneth: how would you ensure integrity? that would be nice to have in your module map.

Travis: I read through the material and was ok with the responses on our open issues. Trusted UI - when you make a background fetch you provide info that can be displayed in the download manager - a string passed through to the UI. UAs should be careful about this... spammy or phishy messages, or deceptive ones, could be an issue.

Alex: could be non-normative text...

Travis: i'm looking for a note on the potential veunerability in the security & privacy section

Alex: makes sense.

Dan: +1

Peter: what's the issue?

Travis: yes i will open 1.

Peter: can we close this off?

Kenneth: I move to close it off.

Dan: +1

Kenneth: there are some remaining open issues but they are being tracked & i think it's fine.

Peter: closed
