No. I've just discussed with them and we will also not ship the 'ready' promise 
either, for similar reasons.

Yes. We've contributed a number of tests to wpt and the Chrome team are running 
them against blink and addressing issues that arise. We still have more tests 
to contribute though and a few of us are spending a lot of time on that at the 
moment.

Full details are in bug 1245000 from comment 9 onwards 
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=).

Initially we would like to release Animation as [NoInterfaceObject] because of 
compat concerns that other libraries might be using 'Animation'. Blink 
currently ships with [NoInterfaceObject] so we don't know yet if this interface 
name is Web compatible.

(Unlike blink, however, we have implemented the Animation constructor and, 
per-spec, implemented Element.animate() in terms of that constructor. Hence the 
slightly odd situation where Animation is not initially on the global but might 
be added if you call Element.animate().)

This is a temporary situation because I don't want to have to back out the 
whole Element.animate feature due to compat issues from the 'Animation' 
interface name. After we have shipped Element.animate we can ship the Animation 
constructor behind a different pref.
