Re: JS content plan

I am sorry, I did not have time to read through the feedback Doug forwarded
a few days ago and I did not follow this thread.
I would appreciate if you could wait until after the weekend before making
any practical steps so I could chime in.

One thing I read in the feedback that seems weird to me is the addition of
"prototype" to the path that was suggested. If this is how it is going to
be, it should be consistent among all of the APIs, because there are
(fairly few) objects in the APIs namespace that have static properties as
well and thus are not part of the prototype.
So either everything includes "prototype" in the path, or none. I do not
think inconsistency would be good here (even though I know these are two
different areas and that APIs are not strictly related to ECMAScript).

Regarding my personal opinion - even though I generally favor correctness,
in this case, I think including "prototype" in the path is a bit over
verbose. I think it is enough to indicate "static" at the top of the page
somewhere and "prototype" within the actual syntax example.
