           Summary: "The following use of overloading however is inv..."
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor

This is outdated:

[[
The following use of overloading however is invalid:

IDL
interface B {
  void f(DOMString x);
  void f(float x);
};
since DOMString and float are not distinguishable.
]]

...since DOMStrings and floats (numerics) are now distinguishable.

This can be corrected by replacing "DOMString" with "long":

[[
The following use of overloading however is invalid:

IDL
interface B {
  void f(long x);
  void f(float x);
};
since long and float are not distinguishable.
]]
