links to the open web alternative planning stage?  Rough timeline?

I am asking dcheng to help me find the document about open-web alternative and
rough timeline. I will update this part once I get it.

According to chrome team(Gary), they are going to start work on it in Q1, and
hope to have something by Q2. There is no document link so far. I added the
possible web alternative timeline here.

instead of saying "Type of |image_data|", let's say something like "The type of
image being passed.".  Note that these comments directly become our public
facing documentation.

Done.

+    // The callback is called with <code>chrome.runtime.lastError</code>
+    // set to error code if there is an error.
+    static void setImageData(ArrayBuffer image_data,
+                             ImageType type,
+                             SetImageDataCallback callback);
+  };
 };
