Yes that’s a good point. I’ve added such a note:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#idl-sequence
pointed it out in the ECMAScript sequence example:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#es-sequence
and added the concept of a “read only” array:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#dfn-read-only-array
In the added note I suggest to use read only arrays instead of sequences
for attribute types.
Thanks,
Cameron
