Boris Zbarsky: > Are we going to rewrite the existing DOM spec idl to the new syntax as > needed (e.g getElementsByTagNameNS)? I do think somebody needs to do that. I don’t think it’s sufficient (even before this syntax change) to just rely on interepreting the OMG IDL published in DOM Core as Web IDL. At the least, [PrototypeRoot] needs to be specified on the Node interface, so that ECMAScript prototype chains for, say, HTMLAElement are set up appropriately. I know that Simon Pieters is working on Web DOM Core http://simon.html5.org/specs/web-dom-core but I am not sure when that will be done. It also won’t include everything from DOM 3 Core. I think it might be useful for someone to just publish versions of existing DOM specs’ IDL as Web IDL. I’m willing to help with that. -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
