Hi Richard,

I note that in the FPWD, PutForwards is applied to
attribute ContactField[] impps;
http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-contacts-api-20100121/#idl-def-ContactProperties
WebIDL notes that PutForwards can only be used on read-only attributes,
with an identifier that match a known attribute of a well-known type.
The IDL above thus breaks two rules:
• it's not applied to a readonly attribute
• ContactField[] doesn't have a "value" attribute so it can't be used
with PutForwards (ContactField does, but they aren't the same)
(I'm working on making the WebIDL checker detect these problems, FWIW)
Hope this helps,
Dom
