The two of you composed an submitted the change in its entirety; it's a large departure in IDL from earlier drafts which reflected implementations as initiated by Apple's draft. The draft is a synthesis of what appears to be two years of feedback from developers and others on the WHATWG and W3C mailing lists. All of the methods were first proposed in the draft; they were not proposed in their IDL form by others. In it's introduction, and the discussion surrounding its introduction, I noticed that Atkins and Hixie had worked to create a coherent proposal based on input; Hixie has expressed directly that he'd prefer to see use cases, not IDL/spec proposals. -Charles
