-## Installation and usage
-The list is distributed as an NPM package. To incorporate it to your project,
-run:
-```bash
-npm install browser-specs
-```
-You can then retrieve the list from your Node.js program:
-```js
-const specs = require("browser-specs");
-console.log(JSON.stringify(specs, null, 2));
-```
-Alternatively, you can either retrieve the [latest
-release](https://github.com/w3c/browser-specs/releases/latest) or fetch
-[`index.json`](https://w3c.github.io/browser-specs/index.json).
-**Note:** If you choose to fetch the `index.json` file directly, keep in mind
-that it may contain (possibly incorrect) updates that have not yet been included
-in the NPM package and the latest GitHub release (see also #38).
-## Spec object
-Each specification in the list comes with the following properties:
-```json
-{
-  "url": "https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/",
-  "seriesComposition": "full",
-  "shortname": "css-color-4",

-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-### `url`
-The versioned (but not dated) URL for the spec. For W3C specs published as
-TR documents, this is the TR URL. For WHATWG specs, this is the URL of the
-living standard. In other cases, this is the URL of the latest Editor's Draft.
-The `url` property is always set.
-### `shortname`
-A shortname that uniquely identifies the spec in the list. The value matches the
-"well-known" shortname of the spec, that usually appears in the versioned URL.
-For instance, for W3C specs published as TR documents, this is the TR shortname.
-For WHATWG specs, this is the shortname that appears at the beginning of the URL
-(e.g. `compat` for `https://compat.spec.whatwg.org/`). For specs developed on
-GitHub, this is usually the name of repository that holds the spec.
-The `shortname` property is always set.
-### `title`
-The title of the spec. The title is either retrieved from the
-[W3C API](https://w3c.github.io/w3c-api/) for W3C specs,
-[Specref](https://www.specref.org/) or from the spec itself. The
-[`source`](#source) property details the actual provenance.
-The `title` property is always set.
-### `shortTitle`
-The short title of the spec. In most cases, the short title is generated from
-`title` by dropping terms such as "Module", "Level", or "Standard". In some
-cases, the short title is set manually.
-The `shortTitle` property is always set. When there is no meaningful short
-title, the property is set to the actual (possibly long) title of the spec.
-### `series`
-An object that describes the series that the spec is part of. A series includes
-existing levels/versions of the spec. For instance, CSS Color Module Level 4
-belongs to the same series as CSS Color Module Level 3 and CSS Color Module
-Level 5.
-Please note that the list only contains specs that are deemed to be
-[of interest](#spec-selection-criteria). In particular, the list does not
-contain levels and versions that have been fully superseded, and may not contain
-early drafts of new levels and versions either.
-The `series` property is always set.
-#### `series.shortname`
-A shortname that uniquely identifies the series. In most cases, the shortname
-is the shortname of the spec without the level or version number. For instance,
-the series' shortname for `css-color-5` is `css-color`. When a specification is
-not versioned, the series' shortname is identical to the spec's shortname.
-The `shortname` property is always set.
-#### `series.currentSpecification`
-The shortname of the spec that should be regarded as the current level or
-version in the series. The current spec in a series is up to the group who
-develops the series. In most cases, the current spec is the latest level or
-version in the series that is a "full" spec (see
-[`seriesComposition`](#seriescomposition)).
-The `currentSpecification` property is always set.
-#### `series.title`
-The version-less version of the title of the spec which can be used to refer to
-all specs in the series. The title is either retrieved from the
-[W3C API](https://w3c.github.io/w3c-api/) for W3C specs, or derived from the
-spec's [`title`](#title).
-The `title` property is always set.
-#### `series.shortTitle`
-The short title of the series title. In most cases, the short title is generated
-from [`series.title`](#seriestitle) by dropping terms such as "Module", "Level",
-or "Standard". In some cases, the short title is set manually.
-The `shortTitle` property is always set. When there is no meaningful short
-title, the property is set to the actual (possibly long) series title.
-#### `series.releaseUrl`
-The URL of the latest published snapshot for the spec series. For leveled specs
-(those that create a series), this matches the unversioned URL. That
-unversioned URL should return the specification identified by the
-[`currentSpecification`](#seriescurrentspecification) property.
-For instance, this property will be set to `https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts/`
-for all specifications in the CSS Fonts series.
-For non-leveled specs, this matches the [`url`](#url) property.
-The `releaseUrl` property is only set for W3C specs published as TR documents.
-#### `series.nightlyUrl`
-For leveled specs (those that create a series), this matches the unversioned URL
-that allows to access the latest Editor's Draft of the current specification in
-the series.
-For instance, this property will be set to `https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts/`
-for all specifications in the CSS Fonts series.
-For specs that are not part of a series of specs, this matches the
-[`nightly.url`](#nightlyurl) property.
-The `nightlyUrl` property is always set.
-### `seriesVersion`
-The level or version of the spec, represented as an `x`, `x.y` or `x.y.z` string
-with `x`, `y` and `z` numbers, and `x` always greater than or equal to `1`. For
-instance, this property will have the value `1.2` (as a string, so enclosed
-in `"`) for the WAI-ARIA 1.2 spec.
-The `seriesVersion` property is only set for specs that have a level or version
-number.
-### `seriesComposition`
-Whether the spec is a standalone spec, or whether it is a delta spec over the
-previous level or version in the series. Possible values are `full` or `delta`.
-The `seriesComposition` property is always set.
-### `seriesPrevious`
-The `shortname` of the previous spec in the series.
-The `seriesPrevious` property is only set where there is a previous level or
-version.
-### `seriesNext`
-The `shortname` of the next spec in the series.
-The `seriesNext` property is only set where there is a next level or version.
-### `organization`
-The name of the standardization organization that owns the spec such as `W3C`,
-`WHATWG`, `IETF`, `Ecma International`, `Khronos Group`.
-The `organization` property is always set.
-### `groups`
-The list the groups that develop (or developed) the spec. Each item in the array
-is an object with a `name` property that contains the human-readable name of the
-group and a `url` property that targets the homepage of the group.
-The `groups` property is always set. In most cases, a spec is developed by one
-and only one group.
-### `release`
-An object that represents the latest published snapshot of the spec, when it
-exists.
-The `release` property is only set for W3C specs published as TR documents.
-#### `release.url`
-The URL of the latest published snapshot of the spec. Matches the versioned
-URL (see [`url`](#url)).
-The `url` property is always set.
-#### `release.filename`
-The filename of the resource that gets served when the default URL is fetched.
-For instance, the filename for `https://www.w3.org/TR/presentation-api/` is
-`Overview.html`, meaning that the specification could also be retrieved from
-`https://www.w3.org/TR/presentation-api/Overview.html`. The filename may be
-useful to distinguish links to self in a spec.
-The `filename` property is always set.
-#### `release.pages`
-The list of absolute page URLs when the spec is a multipage spec.
-The `pages` property is only set for specs identified as multipage specs.
-### `nightly`
-An object that represents the latest Editor's Draft of the spec, or the living
-standard when the concept of Editor's Draft does not exist.
-The `nightly` property is always set.
-#### `nightly.url`
-The URL of the latest Editor's Draft or of the living standard.
-The URL is either retrieved from the [W3C API](https://w3c.github.io/w3c-api/)
-for W3C specs, or [Specref](https://www.specref.org/). The document at the
-versioned URL is considered to be the latest Editor's Draft if the spec does
-neither exist in the W3C API nor in Specref. The [`source`](#source) property
-details the actual provenance.
-The `url` property is always set.
-#### `nightly.filename`
-The filename of the resource that gets served when the default URL is fetched.
-For instance, the filename for `https://w3c.github.io/presentation-api/` is
-`index.html`, meaning that the specification could also be retrieved from
-`https://w3c.github.io/presentation-api/index.html`. The filename may be
-useful to distinguish links to self in a spec.
-The `filename` property is always set.
-#### `nightly.pages`
-The list of absolute page URLs when the spec is a multipage spec.
-The `pages` property is only set for specs identified as multipage specs.
-#### `nightly.repository`
-The URL of the repository that contains the source of the Editor's Draft or of
-the living standard.
-The URL is either retrieved from the [Specref](https://www.specref.org/) or
-computed from `nightly.url`.
-The `repository` property is always set except for IETF specs where such a repo does not always exist.
-#### `nightly.sourcePath`
-The relative path to the filename that contains the source of the Editor's Draft
-or of the living standard at the HEAD of the default branch of the repository.
-That path is computed by parsing the contents of the repository for common
-patterns. The info must be specified in `specs.json` for specifications that do
-not follow a common pattern.
-The `sourcePath` property is always set when `repository` is set.
-**Note:** The path is relative to the root of the repository, and only valid in
-the default branch of the repository. If needed, the source may be fetched from
-the absolute HTTPS URL `${nightly.repository}/blob/HEAD/${nightly.sourcePath}`.
-### `tests`
-An object that links the specification with its test suite when it has one.
-#### `tests.repository`
-The URL of the repository that contains the test suite of the specification,
-typically `https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt`.
-The `repository` property is always set when the `tests` object is present.
-#### `tests.testPaths`
-The list of relative paths to the actual tests at the HEAD of the default branch
-of the test repository.
-For test suites within [Web Platform
-Tests](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt), the list is determined by
-looking at `META.yml` files within each folder.
-The `testPaths` array typically only contains one entry, but tests of a given
-spec are sometimes spread over multiple folders. For instance, that is the case
-for DOM and HTML tests.
-The `testPaths` property is usually set when the `tests` object is present. When
-absent, that means that the entire repository is the test suite.
-#### `tests.excludePaths`
-The list of relative sub-paths of paths listed in the `testPaths` property that
-do not contain tests for the underlying spec. For instance, tests for the
-WebXR Device API are under the
-[`webxr`](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/tree/master/webxr) folder,
-but several folders under `webxr` actually contain test suites for WebXR module
-specs and as such need to be excluded from the test suite of the WebXR Device
-API spec.
-The `excludePaths` property is seldom set.
-### `source`
-The provenance for the `title` and `nightly` property values. Can be one of:
-- `w3c`: information retrieved from the [W3C API](https://w3c.github.io/w3c-api/)
-- `specref`: information retrieved from [Specref](https://www.specref.org/)
-- `spec`: information retrieved from the spec itself
-The `source` property is always set.
-## How to add/update/delete a spec
-If you believe that a spec should be added, modified, or removed from the list,
-or if you would like to otherwise contribute to this project, please check
-[contributing instructions](CONTRIBUTING.md).
-## Spec selection criteria
-This repository contains a curated list of technical Web specifications that are
-deemed relevant for Web browsers. Roughly speaking, this list should match the
-list of specs that appear in projects such as [Web Platform
-Tests](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt) or
-[MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/).
-To try to make things more concrete, the following criteria are used to assess
-whether a spec should a priori appear in the list:
-1. The spec is stable or in development. Superseded and abandoned specs will not
-appear in the list. For instance, the list contains the HTML LS spec, but not
-HTML 4.01 or HTML 5).
-2. The spec is being developed by a well-known standardization or
-pre-standardization group. Today, this means a W3C Working Group or Community
-Group, the WHATWG, or the Khronos Group.
-3. Web browsers expressed some level of support for the spec, e.g. through a
-public intent to implement.
-4. The spec sits at the application layer or is "close to it". For instance,
-most IETF specs are likely out of scope, but some that are exposed to Web developers are in scope.
-5. The spec defines normative content (terms, CSS, IDL), or it contains
-informative content that other specs often need to refer to (e.g. guidelines
-from horizontal activities such as accessibility, internationalization, privacy
-and security).
-There are and there will be exceptions to the rule. Besides, some of these
-criteria remain fuzzy and/or arbitrary, and we expect them to evolve over time,
-typically driven by needs expressed by projects that may want to use the list.
-## Versioning
-This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html)
-with the following increment rules given a `major.minor.patch` version:
-- `major`: A property disappeared, its meaning has changed, or some other
-incompatible API change was made. When the `major` number gets incremented, code
-that parses the list likely needs to be updated.
-- `minor`: A new property was added, the list of specs changed (a new spec
-added, or a spec was removed). Code that parses the list should continue to work
-undisturbed, but please note that there is no guarantee that a spec that was
-present in the previous version will continue to appear in the new version.
-Situations where a spec gets dropped should remain scarce. If you believe that
-removal of a spec should rather trigger a `major` update, please
-[raise an issue](https://github.com/w3c/browser-specs/issues/new) and explain
-how it affects your project.
-- `patch`: Info about one or more specs changed. Minor updates were made to the
-code that don't affect the list.
-## Development notes
-### How to generate `index.json` manually
-To re-generate the `index.json` file locally, run:
-```bash
-npm run build
-```
-**Important:** The generation process will try to retrieve information about W3C
-specification from the W3C API. For that to work, the code requires the presence
-of a `config.json` file in the root folder with a `w3cApiKey` field set to a
-valid [W3C API key](https://w3c.github.io/w3c-api/) and a `githubToken` field
-set to a valid [GitHub Personal Token](https://github.com/settings/tokens)
-(default read permissions are enough).
-### Tests
-To run all tests or to test a given module locally, use one of:
-```bash
-npm test
-npm test test/compute-shortname
-```
-Tests are run automatically on pull requests.
-### Debugging tool
-The `index.js` module can be used as a command-line interface (CLI) to quickly
-look at a given spec in the `index.json` file. The command outputs the spec or
-list of specs that match the provided token as a formatted JSON string.
-For instance, to retrieve all specs, the Compatibility Standard spec, the
-CSS Media Queries Module Level 5 spec, all delta specs, and a spec identified by
-its URL, run:
-```bash
-node index.js
-node index.js compat
-node index.js mediaqueries-5
-node index.js delta
-node index.js https://w3c.github.io/presentation-api/
-```
-**Note:** The `index.js` CLI is not part of the released package, which only
-contains the actual list of specifications.
-### How to release a new version
-Provided that you have the appropriate admin rights and that a `GITHUB_TOKEN`
-environment variable is set to a [GitHub Personal
-Token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) with `repo` rights, you may release a
-new version through the following command, to be run from an up-to-date local
-`main` branch:
-```bash
-npm run release
-```
-The release command should take care of everything including incrementing the
-version number, updating the [changelog](CHANGELOG.md), creating a GitHub
-Release, and publishing a new NPM package. The command is interactive and will
-ask you to confirm the different steps. Please check the [versioning
-rules](#versioning) to select the right version part to increment!

+The `title` property is always set.
+### `shortTitle`
+The short title of the spec. In most cases, the short title is generated from
+`title` by dropping terms such as "Module", "Level", or "Standard". In some
+cases, the short title is set manually.
+The `shortTitle` property is always set. When there is no meaningful short
+title, the property is set to the actual (possibly long) title of the spec.
+### `categories`
+An array that contains the list of categories that the spec belongs to. The only
+possible value so far is `"browser"`, which means that the spec targets web
+browsers.
+The `categories` property is always set. Value may be an empty array for some of
+the specs in the `web-specs` package. Value always contains `"browser"` for
+specs in the `browser-specs` package.
+### `series`
+An object that describes the series that the spec is part of. A series includes
+existing levels/versions of the spec. For instance, CSS Color Module Level 4
+belongs to the same series as CSS Color Module Level 3 and CSS Color Module
+Level 5.
+Please note that the list only contains specs that are deemed to be
+[of interest](#spec-selection-criteria). In particular, the list does not
+contain levels and versions that have been fully superseded, and may not contain
+early drafts of new levels and versions either.
+The `series` property is always set.
+#### `series.shortname`
+A shortname that uniquely identifies the series. In most cases, the shortname
+is the shortname of the spec without the level or version number. For instance,
+the series' shortname for `css-color-5` is `css-color`. When a specification is
+not versioned, the series' shortname is identical to the spec's shortname.
+The `shortname` property is always set.
+#### `series.currentSpecification`
+The shortname of the spec that should be regarded as the current level or
+version in the series. The current spec in a series is up to the group who
+develops the series. In most cases, the current spec is the latest level or
+version in the series that is a "full" spec (see
+[`seriesComposition`](#seriescomposition)).
+The `currentSpecification` property is always set.
+#### `series.title`
+The version-less version of the title of the spec which can be used to refer to
+all specs in the series. The title is either retrieved from the
+[W3C API](https://w3c.github.io/w3c-api/) for W3C specs, or derived from the
+spec's [`title`](#title).
+The `title` property is always set.
+#### `series.shortTitle`
+The short title of the series title. In most cases, the short title is generated
+from [`series.title`](#seriestitle) by dropping terms such as "Module", "Level",
+or "Standard". In some cases, the short title is set manually.
+The `shortTitle` property is always set. When there is no meaningful short
+title, the property is set to the actual (possibly long) series title.
+#### `series.releaseUrl`
+The URL of the latest published snapshot for the spec series. For leveled specs
+(those that create a series), this matches the unversioned URL. That
+unversioned URL should return the specification identified by the
+[`currentSpecification`](#seriescurrentspecification) property.
+For instance, this property will be set to `https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts/`
+for all specifications in the CSS Fonts series.
+For non-leveled specs, this matches the [`url`](#url) property.
+The `releaseUrl` property is only set for W3C specs published as TR documents.
+#### `series.nightlyUrl`
+For leveled specs (those that create a series), this matches the unversioned URL
+that allows to access the latest Editor's Draft of the current specification in
+the series.
+For instance, this property will be set to `https://drafts.csswg.org/css-fonts/`
+for all specifications in the CSS Fonts series.
+For specs that are not part of a series of specs, this matches the
+[`nightly.url`](#nightlyurl) property.
+The `nightlyUrl` property is always set.
+### `seriesVersion`
+The level or version of the spec, represented as an `x`, `x.y` or `x.y.z` string
+with `x`, `y` and `z` numbers, and `x` always greater than or equal to `1`. For
+instance, this property will have the value `1.2` (as a string, so enclosed
+in `"`) for the WAI-ARIA 1.2 spec.
+The `seriesVersion` property is only set for specs that have a level or version
+number.
+### `seriesComposition`
+Whether the spec is a standalone spec, or whether it is a delta spec over the
+previous level or version in the series. Possible values are `full` or `delta`.
+The `seriesComposition` property is always set.
+### `seriesPrevious`
+The `shortname` of the previous spec in the series.
+The `seriesPrevious` property is only set where there is a previous level or
+version.
+### `seriesNext`
+The `shortname` of the next spec in the series.
+The `seriesNext` property is only set where there is a next level or version.
+### `organization`
+The name of the standardization organization that owns the spec such as `W3C`,
+`WHATWG`, `IETF`, `Ecma International`, `Khronos Group`.
+The `organization` property is always set.
+### `groups`
+The list the groups that develop (or developed) the spec. Each item in the array
+is an object with a `name` property that contains the human-readable name of the
+group and a `url` property that targets the homepage of the group.
+The `groups` property is always set. In most cases, a spec is developed by one
+and only one group.
+### `release`
+An object that represents the latest published snapshot of the spec, when it
+exists.
+The `release` property is only set for W3C specs published as TR documents.
+#### `release.url`
+The URL of the latest published snapshot of the spec. Matches the versioned
+URL (see [`url`](#url)).
+The `url` property is always set.
+#### `release.filename`
+The filename of the resource that gets served when the default URL is fetched.
+For instance, the filename for `https://www.w3.org/TR/presentation-api/` is
+`Overview.html`, meaning that the specification could also be retrieved from
+`https://www.w3.org/TR/presentation-api/Overview.html`. The filename may be
+useful to distinguish links to self in a spec.
+The `filename` property is always set.
+#### `release.pages`
+The list of absolute page URLs when the spec is a multipage spec.
+The `pages` property is only set for specs identified as multipage specs.
+### `nightly`
+An object that represents the latest Editor's Draft of the spec, or the living
+standard when the concept of Editor's Draft does not exist.
+The `nightly` property is always set.
+#### `nightly.url`
+The URL of the latest Editor's Draft or of the living standard.
+The URL is either retrieved from the [W3C API](https://w3c.github.io/w3c-api/)
+for W3C specs, or [Specref](https://www.specref.org/). The document at the
+versioned URL is considered to be the latest Editor's Draft if the spec does
+neither exist in the W3C API nor in Specref. The [`source`](#source) property
+details the actual provenance.
+The `url` property is always set.
+#### `nightly.filename`
+The filename of the resource that gets served when the default URL is fetched.
+For instance, the filename for `https://w3c.github.io/presentation-api/` is
+`index.html`, meaning that the specification could also be retrieved from
+`https://w3c.github.io/presentation-api/index.html`. The filename may be
+useful to distinguish links to self in a spec.
+The `filename` property is always set.
+#### `nightly.pages`
+The list of absolute page URLs when the spec is a multipage spec.
+The `pages` property is only set for specs identified as multipage specs.
+#### `nightly.repository`
+The URL of the repository that contains the source of the Editor's Draft or of
+the living standard.
+The URL is either retrieved from the [Specref](https://www.specref.org/) or
+computed from `nightly.url`.
+The `repository` property is always set except for IETF specs where such a repo does not always exist.
+#### `nightly.sourcePath`
+The relative path to the filename that contains the source of the Editor's Draft
+or of the living standard at the HEAD of the default branch of the repository.
+That path is computed by parsing the contents of the repository for common
+patterns. The info must be specified in `specs.json` for specifications that do
+not follow a common pattern.
+The `sourcePath` property is always set when `repository` is set.
+**Note:** The path is relative to the root of the repository, and only valid in
+the default branch of the repository. If needed, the source may be fetched from
+the absolute HTTPS URL `${nightly.repository}/blob/HEAD/${nightly.sourcePath}`.
+### `tests`
+An object that links the specification with its test suite when it has one.
+#### `tests.repository`
+The URL of the repository that contains the test suite of the specification,
+typically `https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt`.
+The `repository` property is always set when the `tests` object is present.
+#### `tests.testPaths`
+The list of relative paths to the actual tests at the HEAD of the default branch
+of the test repository.
+For test suites within [Web Platform
+Tests](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt), the list is determined by
+looking at `META.yml` files within each folder.
+The `testPaths` array typically only contains one entry, but tests of a given
+spec are sometimes spread over multiple folders. For instance, that is the case
+for DOM and HTML tests.
+The `testPaths` property is usually set when the `tests` object is present. When
+absent, that means that the entire repository is the test suite.
+#### `tests.excludePaths`
+The list of relative sub-paths of paths listed in the `testPaths` property that
+do not contain tests for the underlying spec. For instance, tests for the
+WebXR Device API are under the
+[`webxr`](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/tree/master/webxr) folder,
+but several folders under `webxr` actually contain test suites for WebXR module
+specs and as such need to be excluded from the test suite of the WebXR Device
+API spec.
+The `excludePaths` property is seldom set.
+### `source`
+The provenance for the `title` and `nightly` property values. Can be one of:
+- `w3c`: information retrieved from the [W3C API](https://w3c.github.io/w3c-api/)
+- `specref`: information retrieved from [Specref](https://www.specref.org/)
+- `spec`: information retrieved from the spec itself
+The `source` property is always set.
+## How to add/update/delete a spec
+If you believe that a spec should be added, modified, or removed from the list,
+or if you would like to otherwise contribute to this project, please check
+[contributing instructions](CONTRIBUTING.md).
+## Spec selection criteria
+This repository contains a curated list of technical Web specifications that are
+deemed relevant for the Web platform. Roughly speaking, this list should match
+the list of web specs actively developed by W3C, the WHATWG and a few other
+organizations.
+To try to make things more concrete, the following criteria are used to assess
+whether a spec should a priori appear in the list:
+1. The spec is stable or in development. Superseded and abandoned specs will not
+appear in the list. For instance, the list contains the HTML LS spec, but not
+HTML 4.01 or HTML 5).
+2. The spec is being developed by a well-known standardization or
+pre-standardization group. Today, this means a W3C Working Group or Community
+Group, the WHATWG, the IETF, the TC39 group or the Khronos Group.
+4. The spec sits at the application layer or is "close to it". For instance,
+most IETF specs are likely out of scope, but some that are exposed to Web developers are in scope.
+5. The spec defines normative content (terms, CSS, IDL), or it contains
+informative content that other specs often need to refer to (e.g. guidelines
+from horizontal activities such as accessibility, internationalization, privacy
+and security).
+There are and there will be exceptions to the rule. Besides, some of these
+criteria remain fuzzy and/or arbitrary, and we expect them to evolve over time,
+typically driven by needs expressed by projects that may want to use the list.
+## Versioning
+This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html)
+with the following increment rules given a `major.minor.patch` version:
+- `major`: A property disappeared, its meaning has changed, or some other
+incompatible API change was made. When the `major` number gets incremented, code
+that parses the list likely needs to be updated.
+- `minor`: A new property was added, the list of specs changed (a new spec
+added, or a spec was removed). Code that parses the list should continue to work
+undisturbed, but please note that there is no guarantee that a spec that was
+present in the previous version will continue to appear in the new version.
+Situations where a spec gets dropped should remain scarce. If you believe that
+removal of a spec should rather trigger a `major` update, please
+[raise an issue](https://github.com/w3c/browser-specs/issues/new) and explain
+how it affects your project.
+- `patch`: Info about one or more specs changed. Minor updates were made to the
+code that don't affect the list.

+## Spec selection criteria
+This repository contains a curated list of technical Web specifications that are

+pre-standardization group. Today, this means a W3C Working Group or Community
+Group, the WHATWG, the IETF, the TC39 group or the Khronos Group.
+3. Web browsers expressed some level of support for the spec, e.g. through a
+public intent to implement.
+4. The spec sits at the application layer or is "close to it". For instance,
+most IETF specs are likely out of scope, but some that are exposed to Web developers are in scope.
