AFAIK there is no way in IDL to declare an enum. Constants can be declared but one needs to manually assign them a value which makes it unsuitable for this task. Also there's no way to attach other metadata to the declaration (such as a mandatory comment). Don't get me wrong though, I am convinced it would be better if this could be done in IDL because it could then be attached to the relevant interface (such as nsIObserverService) and we wouldn't need separate generation of the C++ and JS code, but we would need to significantly extend it for the purpose.
