This is why Gaia developers are starting to rely on it, and why Boris is wondering whether he should propagate that magic into WebIDL bindings. So we've already been implementing this for years, and so continuing to do it is unlikely to pique the interest of other vendors. Thus, if we can't solve this at the spec level now, it's unclear to me what else we can do. And I'm more in favor of aligning with the spec than preserving our non-standard sugar. bholley _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
