+    To invoke the <dfn export>default toJSON operation</dfn> of [=interface=] |I|,
+    run the the following steps:
+
+    1.  Let |O| be the <emu-val>this</emu-val> value.
+    1.  Let |result| be [=!=] [=ObjectCreate=]([=%ObjectPrototype%=]).
+    1.  If there is an [=inherited interface=] of |I|
+        that declares a “toJSON” operation, then
+        1.  Let |super| be the “toJSON” operation  of
+            the closest [=inherited interface=] of |I|
+            that declares a “toJSON” operation.
+        1.  Set |result| to [=?=] [=Call=](|super|, |O|).
+    1.  If Type(|result|) is not Object, return |result|.
+    1.  For each [=exposed=] [=regular attribute=] |attr| that is an [=interface member=] of |I|:
+        1.  Let |id| be |attr|’s [=identifier=] [=converted to an ECMAScript value=].
+        1.  Let |value| be [=?=] [=Get=](|O|, |id|).

This isn't by design. I just didn't think about it. I must confess having no idea how to express what you're suggesting we do here. Is the following what you have in mind? Is there a clearer way to spec this?

 ```
1.  Let |value| be the result of invoking the Get operation of interface |I| passing it |0| and |id| as argument.
```
