I presume you actually meant: 
https://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Console_API ?

I suspect that that page is actually Good Enough for the needs at hand, 
due to the fact that the interoperability requirements on the console 
API are nowhere near as stringent as those that apply to other parts of 
the stack.

If someone has a use case for stronger interop here, then it would be 
worthwhile looking into tightening that prose up. I don't personally see 
the use case, but I may well have missed it.
