[heycam/webidl] Note regarding old vs new Mixin syntax (#536)

We're looking to move to the new mixin syntax in SVG. Unfortunately we link to spec(s) that haven't updated to the new syntax yet, which is somewhat blocking us from moving forward (we would include a mixin rather than implement, but it isn't a mixin in the spec where the mixin is defined).

@tobie mentions adding a note to explain that mismatch. Would it be possible to update the WebIDL spec to make it clear the new and old syntax are equivalent and thus it is ok for a newer spec to use the new syntax for including a mixin without the spec iti s defined in updating to the new syntax?

That would allow us to move forward faster (and presumably other spec that reference specs that are not updated often)
