It is very easy to fix in existing specification and would, as a bonus, make it perfectly clear as well which specifications have been updated to use Web IDL :-) 38927 1 bzbarsky 2010-09-12 17:46:53 +0000 This has been brought up before, and I believe the previous time both Mozilla and Webkit pointed out that the IDLs they use already have a "string" which means something different from "DOMString". So this change would significantly increase the implementation burden of supporting WebIDL. 38929 2 annevk 2010-09-12 18:37:22 +0000 Hmm okay. Lets keep them name ugly then I guess.
