I had thought to defer updates to the trusted types docs until it ships cross-browser, but given conversations like w3c-cg/swag#9 (comment) and our general desire to talk about this API, I thought it was worth expanding on things a little now.
We should think of this PR as a stop-gap though: I still think we should revisit these docs, write a proper guide, and refresh all the API pages, when the API ships in Firefox or Safari.
This PR expands the Trusted Types API overview page in two ways:
I also updated the rest of the section to be clearer about what the API actually does and how it connects with XSS - I thought things like "lock down the insecure parts of the DOM API" weren't very meaningful.
I hope I understood the bit about polyfills!
