[heycam/webidl] Why do we have super-permissive ExtendedAttribute grammar? (#574) from Kagami Sascha Rosylight on 2018-07-20 (public-webapps-github@w3.org from July 2018)

[Section 2.13](https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-extended-attributes) says that any real extended attributes are matched against the better-defined five `ExtendedAttribute*` grammars, but then why do we have [`ExtendedAttribute`](https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#prod-ExtendedAttribute)?

I mean, should `[()]` be allowed, as `()` is a valid `ExtendedAttribute`?
