Personally I think what we *really* need to be working on is making

That's a step in the right direction for #3, and we can see much more
we can get out of the main thread after that.
I don't see how making DOM APIs asynchronous really helps you achieve #3.
There are some specific cases where custom layouts need to repeatedly
measure content, that currently rely on APIs that trigger multiple
sequential synchronous reflows, which would be better served by less
synchronous APIs. We have nebulous plans for addressing that (it's not as
easy as "make everything a Promise"). But those aren't the main problems
mobile Web apps face right now AFAIK.

Thanks, we'll take that into account.
