How about:

var ForBar = { /*Interface*/
   // This object defines a WebIDL interface. Objects compatible with this interface 
   // must implement all of the following properties  in a manner that preserves the
   // pre and post conditions established by the following definitions 
   isFoo: function (a,b) {
      var validated_a=WebIDL.toDOMString(a);
      var validated_b=WebIDL.toLong(b);
      var specifiedresult=WebIDL.performSpecifiedOperation("FooBar.isFoo"),validated_a,validated_b);
      return Boolean(specified_result);
      },
   isBar: function (a,b) {
      var validated_a=WebIDL.toDOMString(a);
      var validated_b=WebIDL.toLong(b);
      var specified_result=WebIDL.performSpecifiedOperation("FooBar.isBar"),validated_a,validated_b);
      return Boolean(specified_result);
      }
   }
