bzbarsky has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/deviceorientation:

== Invalid IDL in DeviceMotionEventInit ==
The IDL says:

    dictionary DeviceMotionEventInit : EventInit {
      DeviceAccelerationInit? acceleration;
      DeviceAccelerationInit? accelerationIncludingGravity;
      DeviceRotationRateInit? rotationRate;
      double interval = 0;
    };

but  the IDL spec says:

> If the Type is an identifier followed by ?, then the identifier must identify an interface, enumeration, callback function or typedef.

and

> If the type of the dictionary member, after resolving typedefs, is a nullable type, its inner type must not be a dictionary type.

when discussing dictionary members in <https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-dictionaries>.   So the  above IDL is not valid, and a conformant IDL parser will reject it.
