These two APIs originally were used to modify/control the "status bar" text at the bottom of browser windows. However, they have not had any effect on Chrome's status bar for quite some time (many years at least), and they are not standardized attributes. Gecko has not supported these attributes since version 23; WebKit still supports these attributes. The related window.status attribute *is* standardized, but also must never have an impact on the window status bar (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/window-object.html#dom-window-status). The window.status attribute is not being modified with this launch.
N/A
The only compat issue would be if code specifically depends on the presence of `window.default[sS]tatus`. They have not had any behavioral impact for many years, so the risk of this seems very low.
None
Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
Debuggable via the console.

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
None - this is not a specified feature, and it is being removed for that reason.--
