Re: [heycam/webidl] Considering factoring WebIDL to allow use from the ECMAScript specification (#486)

One thing that @domenic 's comment touches on is that we have different conventions for the WHATWG/W3C and ECMA specs, and it's not clear that we should change either of these conventions (which side would be interested in a change, anyway?). Rather, we can use IDL to document the conventions and encourage maintaining them. WebIDL marks things as "legacy" which go contrary to WHATWG/W3C spec conventions. If we maintain two sets of conventions, for ECMA and WHATWG/W3C, maybe we can mark which places a given feature of WebIDL is appropriate for. We could reference that marking from the ECMAScript spec, and say, "The ECMAScript standard library only cares about the ECMA and neutral parts of WebIDL, and are not referencing the WHATWG/W3C parts".
