Re: [heycam/webidl] Formalize the 'this' and 'given value' ambient values (#665)

domenic commented on this pull request.

This seems to be missing an actual definition for "this" and "given value". I think those would be helpful to have, to explain the concept. ("Every non-static operation, attribute getter, and attribute setter's algorithm steps have access to a \<dfn>this\</dfn>, ..." or something similar.)

There's also the typography question:

- Should we use bold?
- Should we encourage people to link to "this"'s dfn?

I don't feel strongly either way on those two questions.

"the" given value sounds nicer to me.
