[Bug 8967] Why is the optional argument in the middle? Isn't it more convenient when copy/pasting code to make optional modifications at either end without having to precisely place the cursor somewhere in the middle? Particularly for piecing together arguments, too

EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are
satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If
you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please
reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML
Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest
title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: It's in the middle because I was trying to keep targetOrigin at the
end, since it looks weird to have targetOrigin in the middle, between the
message being sent and the ports being sent.

(This is starting to get implemented. If you would really like this changed, it
would be helpful if you could contact implementors who have this implemented,
and ask them if they'd be willing to change it. In particular, I think WebKit
has an implementation of this. Not sure if the others do yet.)
