So I did some research, and ECMA 262 does have getters and setters. They just haven't actually made it all the way through ECMA's standardisation process yet. I've added a link to drafts of ECMA262-4 to the spec. I've also clarified that while the examples use getters and setters, this doesn't imply that they must be supported (or indeed that JS at all must be supported, in any version). We need getters and setters for XBL2, otherwise we can't do attributes, which is a rather critical requirement. I don't really have a better suggestion. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
