Thanks, I didn't remember this conversation. Since it seems to have been 
such a large debate, for now we will just rename it to MOZ_lose_context 
on our side until consensus for WEBGL_lose_context happens.

Can I go ahead and add MOZ_lose_context to the registry?

I disagree with the arguments that WEBGL_lose_context is not needed as 
it could be implemented in pure JavaScript. A big focus at the moment is 
to get Web developers to care about contextlost/contextrestored events. 
It would help if we could just point them to a WEBGL_lose_context 
extension to test their app's behavior in all supporting browsers, 
rather than having to use a shim for all WebGL entry points.

Cheers,
Benoit
