| In the DOM 2 spec [07/03/2000] under section 4.2 the MediaList
| interface has a method called "delete".  Since delete is a keyword
| in C++, perhaps this method should be named "deleteMedium" instead.

* Philippe Le Hegaret

| Hum, seems we really need to change the name of this method.

Unless I am much mistaken, the IDL -> C++ mapping defined by the OMG
deals with this by renaming the method in some systematic way, such as
by adding an underscore prefix or something.

So this is necessarily catastrophic, although it probably violates the
principle of least surprise.
