I'm not sure I follow... You can have a dictionary like so:
dictionary Foo {
long x = 5;
};
and then if I pass {} to a method taking a Foo, it will see x as set in
the dictionary, with a value of 5. Maybe. The spec is not actually
clear; hence my question.
If you want to allow a "no value" mode, you just leave off the default
value, of course.
If the question was what specs use default values on dictionaries...
WebGL does for the WebGLContextAttributes dictionary.
