Re: [heycam/webidl] Define Web IDL Modules (#675)

+
+Note that like [=namespaces=], modules do not create types.
+
+Rather than defining behavior when accessed, the [=attributes=] of a [=module=] act as a simple
+storage location. The relevant language binding defines the steps to "set a module attribute" to
+an IDL value of the type of the [=attribute=].
+
+Note: See the ECMAScript binding's definition of [=set a module attribute=].
+
+Each module may have <dfn for=module>evaluation steps</dfn> which are executed when the module is
+first imported.
+These steps have access to a <dfn>this module</dfn> value, which is the [=module=] being
+evaluated, and a [=Realm=].
+They may throw an [=exception=], which prevents the module from being accessed.
+The [=module/evaluation steps=] for a module |m| must invoke the "set a module attribute"

Let's leave it for now.
