As an obvious example of #3, what happens when a Storage > <http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/> key is "toString"? It’s a good example of something that’s not obvious, though it is defined. If [OverrideBuiltins] is on the interface, then toString is taken as a a named property; otherwise, it’s the property from the Storage prototype object. This is handled by the host object [[Get]] method: http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#get -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
