Keynote: What's New in Web Standards
summary
Overview of concrete progress and next steps: Firefox 101 ships WebDriver BiDi primitives enabling newer browser automation commands; a new Web Interoperable Runtimes CG launched to align APIs across browsers, Node, Deno and edge platforms; ECMA/TC39 keeps using a staged process and living specs to iterate features; Node recently added fetch but lacks full cookie support so conformance and cross-runtime testing remain urgent priorities.
