Re: [heycam/webidl] Enumeration order of interface members (#432)

Interfaces don't really have a concept of which specification they're declared in attached to them.  And in particular:

1.  On a text level which specification is mutable, and sometimes there are multiple specifications that do it at once.  Right now that's all OK as long as they all agree.
2. Right now, just concatenating all IDL together is a reasonable (and possibly desirable) thing to do.

Likewise "order within a specification" may not be a very well defined concept...

It's not clear to me that "|specification|'s short name" is either stable or unique....

In general, other than the arc/arcTo thing I'm not obviously aware of people depending on the order, fwiw.
