Is it compatible with [[[ Extensibility Extensions to the DocumentSelector interface are reserved for future work by the Web APIs WG. WGs besides the Web APIs WG may extend the interface, but must coordinate that with the Web APIs WG. UAs may extend the interface, but must prefix the new members using a string specific to the vendor following the VendorMember scheme. (Normally members follow the member scheme.) FooSetDefaultNamespace(ns) would be an example for company Foo. Authors may use extension mechanisms specific to the host language, like .prototype in ECMAScript. ]]] -- Selectors API http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-selectors-api-20060525/ #extensibility Wed, 24 May 2006 16:20:19 GMT I agree with your sentence, but please be sure to have the same prose in both sections or to refer to extensibility section.
