I support this CfC although I am wondering about the CR exit criteria.

Do you expect to re-use the CSP1.0 criteria:

[[
The entrance criteria for this document to enter the Proposed 
Recommendation stage is to have a minimum of two independent and 
interoperable user agents that implementation all the features of this 
specification, which will be determined by passing the user agent tests 
defined in the test suite developed by the Working Group.
]]

My preference is what WebApps has used in other CRs because I think it 
is clearer that a single implementation is not required to pass every 
test but that at least two implementations must pass every test. F.ex.:
