RE: [XBL] ECMAScript Syntax

Cyril, 
That is standard notation for ECMAScript. Try it in your browser: 
<html>
<script>
test = ({
functionName: function() {
	alert("test"); 
}
})

test.functionName(); 
</script>
</html>

I think it is beyond the scope of the XBL spec to contain such
definitions. Please let us know if you are satisfied with this response.


Regards, 
Marcos

Subject: [XBL] ECMAScript Syntax


Dear XBL experts,

This email comments on the 7 September 2006 LCWD of XBL 2.0.

In many examples in the specification, in particular in Section 2.3, a 
syntax for ECMAScript definition of functions is used:

<implementation>
({
functionName: function() {
}
})
</implementation>

Is this standard ECMAScript notation ? Could you explain it or provide a

link to it ? What is the meaning of "({" ?
The get/set fonction in that section don't use the ':' ? Is it a typo ? 
If yes please fix it, otherwise highlight and explain this difference 
with the other functions.

Cyril Concolato
