           Summary: "(Node or DOMString)..." is not valid WebIDL
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: DOM
        AssignedTo: annevk@opera.com
        ReportedBy: ayg@aryeh.name
         QAContact: member-webapi-cvs@w3.org

E.g.:

  void prepend((Node or DOMString)... nodes);

As with the enum, this a) leaves precise error-handling behavior undefined, and
b) makes it impossible to process the IDLs automatically (such as with
idlharness.js).  Please either get WebIDL changed to allow this syntax, or use
"any" for now and define the precise behavior in prose.
