why is this needed in the readme for version 1?


This project implements dynamic module loading through `System` exactly to the previous ES6-specified loader API at [2014-08-24 ES6 Specification Draft Rev 27, Section 15](http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:specification_drafts#august_24_2014_draft_rev_27) and is being converted to track the newly redrafted specification at https://github.com/whatwg/loader (work in progress at https://github.com/ModuleLoader/es6-module-loader/pull/317).
This project implements dynamic module loading as per the newly redrafted specification at [WhatWG loader spec](https://github.com/whatwg/loader). It replaces the 0.* branch, which implements the previous ES6-specified loader API at [2014-08-24 ES6 Specification Draft Rev 27, Section 15](http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:specification_drafts#august_24_2014_draft_rev_27).

The rest of this Readme describes the previous implementation and will be updated as work progresses.

How about All documentation here relates to the prior specification API, which will upgrade to the latest specification as soon as it is ready.?



* Provides an asynchronous loader (`System.import`) to [dynamically load ES6 modules](#getting-started).
* Supports both [Traceur](https://github.com/google/traceur-compiler) and [Babel](http://babeljs.io/) for compiling ES6 modules and syntax into ES5 in the browser with source map support.
