Indeed, that is how I defined it before, modeling it on earlier DOM specs. I changed it in response to an earlier comment. [1] I was perhaps overzealous in my changes. Since "property" is JS terminology, while "attribute" is IDL terminology, I should in fact use both terms. I'll correct this, thanks!
