[Bug 16790] The term microtask should be defined

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16790

--- Comment #9 from Arun <arun@mozilla.com> 2012-04-18 22:05:51 UTC ---
Past discussion on the matter of oneTimeOnly or autoRevoke may have used
"microtask" and "stable state" interchangeably (vis
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2012JanMar/1306.html). 
"Microtask" as an isolated concept doesn't exist; it is merely a magic word for
algorithm invocation.

This bug was spawned with the idea of defining microtask more rigorously, BUT
mainly as a solution to the autoRevoke/oneTimeOnly conundrum.  IF stable state
is a better solution for that, then I'm not sure we need to define microtask;
it remains a magic word for mutation observers.  

Unless anyone disagrees with Comment 4 or finds reason why this bug is still
useful, I'm happy to move on.
