I thought I'd put together the short list of possible agenda items for tomorrow's joint meeting. This could be a place to start our discussion from. Some of these have been re-curring discussions of late, a few of these are taken from the mailing list, others have simply been on my mind recently. 1. "It's not your job" -> specing ECMAScript language features by non-ECMAScript folks * GOALS: Discuss possible process changes, how to get review (or have TC-39 folks author) any language features needed for legacy browser support. * GOALS: Not desiring to spec new language features of ECMAScript, just pieces required for legacy browser support. 2. WebIDL syntax considerations * Method overloads vs. union types for functions - General focus on EMCAScript binding vs. JavaBinding syntax 3. Standardizing "Mistakes" (or how to organize the spec to make legacy stuff legacy only) * ISSUE: 'caller' syntax * ISSUE: creator/deletor? * more? 4. Object catchAlls and related issues * catchalls and the prototype chain--mixed appraoches in WebIDL necessary? * preventExtensions() on DOM collections? 5. New Data Types for W3C Specs in ECMAScript bindings * GOALS: Discuss a convenient way to have byte arrays (i.e., "data" in general) represented in W3C specs (File API spec) and ECMAScript itself. * Binary Data Proposal: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-script-coord/2009OctDec/0093.html Other topics: ES5 concepts on DOM objects: accessor or data properties?
