We already have [TreatNonCallableAsNull], which is only used by event handlers so far. I plan to just change its behavior and rename to [TreatNonObjectAsNull], not introduce any new weirdness we don't already have. > If people use prefixed code incorrectly in a global scope I'm > willing to break them in the name of saner web platform. I'll believe it when I see Blink actually removing some of the prefixed properties in question. We tried that in Gecko, and ended up with widespread breakage, such that we could not ship the change. I'm not willing to experiment with that again, given the amount of time that was wasted previously and my low estimate of the chance of ever being able to ship such a change. Further, this is a problem for common polyfill techniques too, not just prefixes... -Boris
