action-57
dean investigating
action-58
ID: I agree
RESOLUTION: must support 1 arg and should support 0 arg for the send  
method
RATIONALE: 1 arg works in all current UAs, so that should be MUST. 0  
args works in most but not all UAs, however there is a lot of content  
that uses 0 args so future implementations should support it

issue-23
issue-24
GE: don't rely on ECMA spec because changes are coming
JS: want to align with next version of ECMA spec but how if its not  
available yet
GE: say that it throws an exception but not specify what ?
issue-26
SS: use case, [member private only]
ACTION: DS to take ISSUE-26 to the public 
issue-27
GE: need to look at on a case by case basis
RB: null will raise an exception unless otherwise specified
RESOLUTION: null is disallowed in D3EV whenever it does not clearly  
say that it's allowed
RATIONALE: there is no generic rule
RESOLUTION: we should add a DOMException code for NULL_NOT_ALLOWED_ERR
RATIONALE: we can add codes, and it's useful
AK: I wonder if the null namespace is similar to the empty string  
namespace...
ACTION: GE to draft text for NULL_NOT_ALLOWED_ERR (or better name)  
ACTION: BH to check that D3EV specifies that parameters are nullable  
whenever they are
