I've updated HTML5 to use 25 for DATA_CLONE_ERR. We're keeping an informal
registry of codes here:
http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Exception_Codes
I've added NOT_READABLE_ERR and ENCODING_ERR to the wiki.
Why does File API use FileError/FileException and not DOMException? If it
doesn't use DOMException, these don't actually clash, and it seems weird
that we would use the same numbers. Can this be fixed?
Same question for the File System and File Writer APIs.
To add exception codes, just do something like what HTML5 does:
[Supplemental] exception DOMException {
const unsigned short URL_MISMATCH_ERR = 21;
const unsigned short QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR = 22;
const unsigned short DATA_CLONE_ERR = 25;
};
