Oh, and I should mention that I was the one originally pushing for the throwing behavior here. However I was talked out of it by various people that know JS better than me, both on this list and elsewhere. The short answer is that looking for absence of properties any isn't a very "JS-esq" thing to do. First of all properties often live on prototype chains. For example every object has a "toString" property since that property lives on the Object prototype. So that's why the WebIDL spec doesn't throw for unknown properties, and that's why I was talked out of it for IndexedDB too. / Jonas
