Re: Support team for WebIDL design questions

Hi Editors, 

Just as a followup, if you are writing some WebIDL and are unsure if your IDL is valid, you can use the WebIDL Checker:
 
https://w3c.github.io/webidl2.js/checker/

Not all spec authoring tools have a built-in WebIDL parser/validator, so the above can help catch common mistakes and provide useful error messages. It can even fix some common mistakes for you. 

The checker is actively maintained and generally up-to-date with the latest WebIDL spec draft.

HTH!
