Browser API for Country Data

[theindra]

Session description

Millions of websites rely on country and address formatting data that needs to be unnecessarily downloaded on everyone of those websites.
For example on a regular Shopify onlinestore this leads to 193kB uncompressed or 17.7kB compressed data being downloaded on every store.
To allow developers build simpler and more performant websites we want to discuss our proposal for a browser API for country data.

Session goal

Discuss proposal, get feedback, and discuss next steps

Thank you for proposing a session!

You may update the session description as needed and at any time before the meeting, but please keep in mind that tooling relies on issue formatting: follow the instructions and leave all headings and other formatting intact in particular. Bots and W3C meeting organizers may also update the description, to fix formatting issues or add links and other relevant information. Please do not revert these changes. Feel free to use comments to raise questions.

Do not expect formal approval; W3C meeting organizers endeavor to schedule all proposed sessions that are in scope for a breakout. Actual scheduling should take place shortly before the meeting.
