Thanks @abinpaul1!!

@caribouW3 - What do we need to appease the IPR bots here? Should Abin join the WG as an invited expert?

[caribouW3]

Are we in situation 2. b described here: https://github.com/w3c/Guide/blob/master/process/non-participant-commitment.md I think that if it's a one-time contribution, a non-participant commitment is enough (Contributor needs a W3C public account, link it with the GH account, then it's done by submitting a licensing commitment form).

We discussed this on the WG call yesterday.

@bdekoz @sefeng211 @achristensen07 - I'd love y'all's thoughts on this

Left a relevant comment on the Fetch PR that would impact this PR as well/

[noamr]

Any WPTs for this?

Great idea, though I believe this would be confusing with preloads until we resolve https://github.com/w3c/resource-timing/issues/303. If you preload a stylesheet and then load it as render-blocking, it would currently appear as not render-blocking because currently we don't expose preload-consuming requests in resource timing.

It's being added over at https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3709521 Have added a few cases but its still a WIP

[noamr]

It's probably failing because the Fetch PR is not merged yet. I want that merged first and to get some understanding about https://github.com/w3c/resource-timing/pull/327#issuecomment-1159514743 before proceeding

I agree that this would be confusing initially, but don't know if we want to block this work on solving preloads. @noamr - Would an intermediate state where preload RT enrties are marked as non-blocking be too confusing in your opinion? I believe this is what Chrome is currently doing with traces.

Sounds ok, just wanted to get that conversation started (this PR is blocked on the fetch PR)

Changed the type of render blocking status from string to enum as per TAG suggestion https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/753#issuecomment-1197900871.
