Comment 1 Boris Zbarsky 2012-12-08 06:01:06 UTC 
  NodeList getItems(optional DOMString typeNames = "");

and then the prose doesn't have to worry about it being missing.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-02-09 22:08:51 UTC 
bz: I bet people will now start filing bugs saying the spec doesn't handle the case of the attribute being omitted and I'll end up having to mention it in the prose redundantly anyway... :-P

Checked in as WHATWG revision r7718.
Check-in comment: Use WebIDL instead of prose.
