Description Dominique Hazael-Massieux 2011-06-27 15:16:47 UTC
WebIDL now defines a way to build up interfaces across sections/specifications, but it doesn't use [Supplemental], it defines instead "partial interface". HTML5 should use that new mechanism.

Patch

I've left DOMException alone, because that should just go away, and some Worker interfaces, because I had no idea what they were supposed to look like.
