Description

This is an early-stage idea. However, we'd love early engagement from other implementers to make sure what we're designing fits well with their architecture.

The TAG design review and the issue tracker has some summaries of our current open questions.

This seems pretty interesting.

It's not clear that the "download a language pack" approach can work. That results in XSLeaks attacks we've been trying to rid the web platform of.

It's also not clear that a server-side approach is a good fit. At that point it's essentially a fetch() wrapper.
