And if so, why? As Brian said, the UI itself should not be defined in the spec. However, I feel like the object-to-string behavior should be standardized so that any JS engine could be used reliably in a command-line environment (ie console.log outputs the same string in the console in all browsers/engines). The browsers may still ship with a custom interface that wraps around the text APIs of console and that allows more fancy things, the point is that the basic functionalities should be interoperable. > Is an informative draft a fair start or does it need to be normative > from the get-go? I don't feel strongly about that, but there are informative standards already, maybe something normative would be better to reach standardization.
