[Bug 16103] Remove DOMStringList usage

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16103

It's not possible to /remove/ stuff like this, no, but it's possible to have
incompatibilities (or extend). With incompatibilities, those who use some
special feature from either DOMStringList or DOMString[] would have to work
around those incompatibilities, and thus they'll write code that is futureproof
when everyone converges on just using DOMString[].

Not getting this in feels a bit like an artificial hindering. And having two
possible ways in the spec will make it a bit more vague. However, if it's
really really impossible, I'd like to ask around and see if we could go down
the incompat road in order to be able to actually converge on this later.

By the way, the email from Sicking said "possibly", and there's an unaswered
reply to it:

Getting .contains() in ES arrays would maybe fix it though. Except for the
name, but I haven't seen much code that isn't tests, that is relying on that.
