My question then is: if (some of) these extended attributes were specced, and then included in IDL published in DOM specs, would that be helpful for you? I just went through the IDL files in WebKit, wrote down what I found and my best guesses at what they mean: http://www.w3.org/mid/20070522005740.GA9270@arc.mcc.id.au Some of them are WebKit-specific things, but others seem to be useful for speccing. Using extended attributes rather than messing with the IDL syntax to make it (more) incompatible with OMG IDL works for me. > And the standard W3C license for IDL files would likely make it > impossible to start with them.

I saw in the list archives that that was something Charles might look into? -- Cameron McCormack, http://mcc.id.au/ xmpp:heycam@jabber.org ▪ ICQ 26955922 ▪ MSN cam@mcc.id.au
