Re: [WebIDL] Callback, PropertyOnly, NoInterfaceObject

Hi Steffen, Giovanni.

I agree with everything Giovanni said.

Regarding the name of the extended attribute: it used to be called
[NativeObject], but there were restrictions on it so that it could only
be used on interfaces with operations (and not attributes).  Ian then
requested it be renamed to [Callback], since that was more descriptive.
Since that restriction has now been lifted, and [Callback] interfaces
can have attributes, I agree that [Callback] isn’t the most obvious name
any more.

Anybody object to renaming it back to [NativeObject] then (or can
suggest a better name)?

Thanks,

Cameron
