Should binding section be rewritten more algorithmically?

Is anyone else on this list implementing WebIDL? If so, I'm wondering if you would have an opinion as to whether the binding sections should be rewritten as algorithms (and more closely follow the style of ECMAScript5). For example:   

Implementing an IDL exception is done as follows:

1. Let IDL be the IDL fragment to be implemented.   
2. Let E be a new Function object.
3. If the  [NoInterfaceObject] extended attribute was not used with IDL:  
__x. Let identifier be the identifier of IDL.  
__x. On the global object, call [[DefineOwnProperty]] with identifier, and Property Descriptor {[[Value]]: E, [[Writable]]: true, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true }, false.  

and so on…  

or am I the only person who is struggling to implement the spec in its current form?
