I was apparently at the meeting, but can't remember the rationale either... -----Original Message----- From: public-script-coord-request@w3.org [mailto:public-script-coord-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Cameron McCormack Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 2:24 PM To: public-script-coord@w3.org Subject: Removal of identifierless getters, setters, etc. At TPAC last year, there was a discussion on Web IDL that resulted in a resolution to remove special operations (getters, setters, etc.) that have no identifier: http://www.w3.org/2009/11/02-webapps-minutes.html#item06 I don’t see any rationale there, so I wonder if anyone who was there could explain? HTML5 currently uses a number of these, specifically: DOMStringMap - name getter, setter, creator & deleter HTMLDocument - name getter Window - name getter, index getter TimedTrackCueList - index getter CanvasPixelArray - index getter, index setter Would the idea here be to given all of these an identifier but to declare them as omittable (so that in JS real method wouldn’t exist on these objects anyway)? Thanks, Cameron -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
