Re: [whatwg/dom] Spec for DOMTokenList stringifier disagrees with every single implementation (#105)

The rules about `classList` serializing in the spec & in browsers have been changing *a lot* recently so I doubt the Web depends on any particular serialization. My point of view is that if the spec is logical, unlikely to be Web-incompatible and it's relatively easy for browsers to get patched so that they adhere to it then it's better that the browsers change instead of the spec. As some people like to say, the future is larger than the past; if the spec remains unintuitive but implemented the same everywhere, the Web will eventually start depending on it leaving us with it forever.

The fact that WebKit changed their implementation to adhere to the previous, more logical version of the spec only reinforces this opinion for me.
