FWIW, as I told Cameron the other day on IRC, there are parts of the WebIDL
spec that I don't plan to implement in Gecko's parser.  For example, I
don't really think its worth dealing with partial interfaces in our parser
when developers can just copy/paste the relevant stuff into the "main"
interface.
