Thanks for the answer. I did not know that notation. It must be some 
object-oriented syntax. I agree that XBL does not need to redefine 
ECMAScript syntax. The question is: Is the ECMAScript syntax in the 
'implementation' element free like:
<implementation>
foo = 1;
</implementation>

or shall/should it obey some specific ECMAScript syntax (as all the 
examples in the specification suggest), i.e. start with ({, contain only 
fonction declarations, and end with }).

If the syntax is free, please say so in the specification. If not, 
please give link to specifics constructs allowed from the ECMAScript 
specification. This would satisfy me.

Regards,

Cyril
