Bug ID: 22691
Summary: Remove ByteString from WebIDL
Classification: Unclassified
Product: WebAppsWG
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: WebIDL
Assignee: cam@mcc.id.au
Reporter: w3-bugs@norbertlindenberg.com
QA Contact: public-webapps-bugzilla@w3.org
CC: mike@w3.org, public-script-coord@w3.org
The ByteString interface was added to Web IDL in order to make it easier to
explain legacy behavior in XMLHttpRequest. I'd like to ask that it be removed
because this legacy behavior is not a good model for new APIs, but having
ByteString in Web IDL may lead API designers to adopt this model. The legacy
behavior in XMLHttpRequest can be explained in the XMLHttpRequest
specification.
