What are the side effects you believe we need to contain? Based on this thread, it seems like this behavior is inconsistent with what JS developers expect and how DOM APIs are designed. From our point of view, we don't believe getters and setters should be artificially restricted and we agree with Cameron on allowing our methods to take extra parameters and ignore them. Israel
