Need clear bug policy on handling of interop issues

Project Member Reported by rbyers@chromium.org, Oct 23 2017

Issue description

What is the appropriate use of chromium bugs in regards to interop issues?
Whose responsibility is it when chromium implements behavior that doesn't match a spec?
To what extent is it a chromium bug when the spec is un-tested or otherwise ambiguous?

We've debated these questions at some length and have established common conventions within specific teams, but don't yet have a clear policy for the chromium project.  I'm working on fixing this.

FWIW here are some sample Chromium issues (assigned to me) that are mostly about interop: crbug.com/698559, crbug.com/729137, crbug.com/692832. Not sure if you want to record this as "blocking" them, but I thought it'd be useful to have some samples.

domenic: Yeah having examples that would be influenced by this policy are useful.  Issue 549211 is another good long-time example IMHO.  If you feel progress isn't likely until this is resolved, then indeed feel free to block on this.

Hotlist:Interop https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=hotlist%3Ainterop has 1170 bugs on it. 

The Style and Animations team defines that a bug should be on Hotlist:Interop as "Compatibility bugs (differences in behaviour between Blink and other engines, or between Blink and a CR specification)"
