> You always want to use string literals instead.
Is this referring to string literals assigned to const properties, or are you
simply saying that const was a bad idea, and in general shouldn't be used
anymore in future APIs?
There are certainly some advantages to having numerical constants, especially
for APIs that can have overlapping state (like compareDocumentPosition, or
mouseevent.buttons) and use a number as a bit mask.
I think this "problem" might be better solved by some WebIDL recommended best
practices for const, rather than flagging all const properties as "legacy" (do
not use).
