http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12248 --- Comment #34 from Allen Wirfs-Brock <allen@wirfs-brock.com> 2011-03-16 19:14:57 UTC --- (In reply to comment #33) WebIDL is a specification language not an implementation language. The types used in WebIDL are specification constraints. In the case of unsigned long is a constant on the range of acceptable values How that constraint is satisfied should be a matter for the language binding and when multiple languages are used a matter for the foreign function call protocols and mechanisms used to enable such calls. The restriction I'm quoting is part of section 4, of the WebIDL spec. This is the the ECMAScript binding definition. In that context I think the restriction needs to be interpreted as meaning "this language binding is incomplete because it doesn't not define everything that is needed to fully implement WebIDL interface specifications using ECMAScript." This may be adequate to describe current browser implementations, but it won't be adequate for the future. I opened bug #12320 concerning this specific issue. -- 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.
