こんにちは TAG-さん!

I'm requesting a TAG review of navigateEvent.sourceElement.

This is a small extension of the navigation API, which was previously reviewed in https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/605 and https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/717. The navigateEvent exposes many details about a navigation that has just begun, and we wish to add a sourceElement attribute: the Element that initiated the navigation (if any).

• Explainer¹ (minimally containing user needs and example code): https://github.com/WICG/navigation-api/pull/264
• User research: Requested and discussed on our issue tracker: https://github.com/WICG/navigation-api/issues/225
• Security and Privacy self-review²: None - this shouldn't expose anything that isn't already available
• GitHub repo (if you prefer feedback filed there): https://github.com/WICG/navigation-api/
• Primary contacts (and their relationship to the specification):
  • Nate Chapin (@natechapin), Google
  • Domenic Denicola (@domenic), Google
• Organization/project driving the design: Google
• External status/issue trackers for this feature (publicly visible, e.g. Chrome Status): None yet.

Further details:

• I have reviewed the TAG's Web Platform Design Principles
• The group where the incubation/design work on this is being done (or is intended to be done in the future): WICG
• The group where standardization of this work is intended to be done ("unknown" if not known): WHATWG
• Existing major pieces of multi-stakeholder review or discussion of this design: https://github.com/WICG/navigation-api/issues/225
• Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this design: None yet. The main point of debate has been the name. I am happy to consider alternatives to sourceElement.
• This work is being funded by: Google

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):
