+This specification introduces a new interface for developers to schedule and
+control prioritized tasks and continuations. A task in this context is a
+JavaScript callback that runs asynchronously in its own [=event loop=] [=task=].
+A continuation is the resumption of JavaScript code in a new [=event loop=]
+[=task=] after yielding control to the browser. The {{Scheduler}} interface
+exposes a {{Scheduler/postTask()}} method to schedule tasks and a
+{{Scheduler/yield()}} method to schedule continuations. The specification
+defines a number of {{TaskPriority|TaskPriorities}} to control task and
+continuation execution order. Additionally, a {{TaskController}} and its
