> In WebIDL, can you please add Function as a type. More specs are going to make use of it and it would be good not to have a dependency on HTML5 (or having to copy and paste it all the time from HTML5 to break the depedency). Seehttp://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#function

I don't think more specs should depend on the definition of Function 
that's in HTML, since it's kind of non-specific and designed to work 
with the weirdo timer APIs.  We have callbacks in Web IDL now, and specs 
that need them should define more specific signatures to use.
