Braw mornin' TAG! (That's a new one for me 😄 )

I'm requesting a TAG review of the <popup> element. This is effectively a re-opening of the previously requested TAG review for this feature.

That review was closed, waiting for the proposed "Anchor Positioning" feature to be available for review. Please see this comment on the old review, linking to the explainer for Anchor Positioning, plus some additional context. Essentially, the Anchor Positioning feature now has an explainer and a significant amount of brainstorming is happening around the shape of the API. From those links you should be able to get a sense for what will be possible, positioning-wise, for <popup>. And hopefully that's enough to re-open and continue the TAG review for <popup>. In the time since the last TAG review, a draft specification has been written and reviewed by editors of the WHATWG HTML spec. And a prototype implementation in Chromium is basically complete. Several of the comments on the prior TAG review lead to changes that have been made in the spec and implementation, e.g. the addition of an initiallyopen attribute to declaratively open the popup.
