Hi.

In ECMA-262 3rd ed, “public” is a reserved word, which means it will be
annoying to refer to the public object from an implementation object’s
methods:

  <implementation>
    ({
      xblBindingAttached: function() {
        this['public'].x = 5;
      }
    })
  </implementation>

I suggest a different property name be used for the public object.

Thanks,

Cameron
