I don't entirely understand this request. The IDL just defines an  
interface. ECMAScript doesn't have a way to declare an interface  
without implementing it. And the actual behavior of most objects  
described with Web IDL interfaces is not implementable in pure  
ECMAScript - not the interface behavior, the actual core behavior. But  
maybe you can help me understand what you want with an example. Here's  
a trivial Web IDL interface, what would count as an ES implementation  
to you:

interface FooBar {
     boolean isFoo(DOMString a, long b);
     boolean isBar(DOMString a, long b);
}
