Really? Wouldn't this do the trick:

interface WebGLActiveInfo {
    readonly attribute GLint size;
    readonly attribute GLenum type;
    readonly attribute DOMString name;
};

interface WebGLGlobal {
  attribute WebGLActiveInfo activeInfo;
};

partial interface Window {
  attribute WebGLGlobal WebGL;
};
