I think I'll take a stab at speccing window.console.

I went looking for what the few related calls might be: when
window.console was originally added to WebKit[1], its error, info, log,
and warn methods were added. Since then, WebKit has added a bunch more
to its Console object[2]; do you have a sense for how much of that is
needed for interop with web content?
