http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12845 --- Comment #25 from Cameron McCormack <cam@mcc.id.au> 2011-06-09 00:07:41 UTC --- One example of the kind of thing I was thinking about was how objects stringify. Now, this isn't directly applicable because this is done with "stringifiers" in Web IDL as opposed to writing a toString operation, and besides operations are different from attributes -- but I think it's an analagous situation. To me, Allen's general pattern of derived things doing additional work (like logging) makes sense to allow. So I think we want to "allow these sort of spec bugs" only if there could never be non-buggy reasons for shadowing. All of this applies equally to operations too, right? The examples from HTML5 are deliberate, as far as I know, and not accidental shadowing. Maybe Ian can say why it's preferable to have these properties on HTMLElement rather than on the separate interfaces where they actually apply. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
