> MediaStreamTrack has an attribute in its interface definition called _readonly (including the underscore).  The description refers to it as simply readonly.  Can we get a clarification whether the intent is for script to access this with or w/o the underscore?  Also, should this be in camelCase, e.g. readOnly?

I had this explained as being quite simply a workaround for the fact
that readonly is a reserved word in WebIDL.  Apparently, the
underscore is removed.
