I actually thought about this some more, and realised i'm not entirely  
sure this should be part of webidl as it seems a little too language  
specific.  Eg. WebKit also provides an objective-c interface to the  
DOM to application developers, allowing them to interact with a  
webpage (or other content) through the DOM directly from their  
application code.
