Research direction
Start with the linked WHATWG HTML specification pull request and the interest-invokers results on WPT.fyi. The issue names no repository file or test to change, so first determine whether an Interop test or browser implementation is in scope. Done would require the missing Firefox and Safari support to be addressed and reflected in the linked results.
