Local device discovery is also something I want. Think apps/games like pictochat on the Nintendo DS. These are basically impossible to make because there is no local connection mechanism without internet. I'd expect pushback but I think it's still worth thinking about.

I was thinking CSS pseudos (:module for coloring, :deadzone for brand logos etc) with an escape hatch of canvas (implements CanvasImageSource). The latter loses a lot of the benefits though. The ability to have the UA turn off QR code styling would be beneficial.

I would like to be able to have an element for QR/bar codes, or at least better ways to work with them without a big library: github.com/whatwg/html/...
HTML element for barcodes/qr codes · Issue #5801 · whatwg/html
QR codes are pretty standard for transmitting small amounts of data. They can be seen many web-based applications especially for tasks like ticketing, payment, customer loyalty ids, pairing devices...
