This would make it consistent with other interfaces such as HTMLCollection, DOMTokenList, HTMLFormElement, HTMLSelectElement and UndoManager that have indexed properties as well as a method to get an item at a particular index. 42688 1 Ms2ger 2010-11-22 10:27:57 +0000 What's the use case? 42744 2 cam 2010-11-24 04:03:29 +0000 Obviously, you can get at the elements of the TimedTrackCueList with the index properties, so whatever the use case is that TimedTrackCueList serves is solved by that. I would ask why TimedTrackCueList isn't being made consistent with the other collection/array-like interfaces in the spec. Surely consistency benefits authors, and we should strive to be consistent unless there are good reasons not to be? 43729 3 ian 2011-01-01 06:36:50 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: It's unclear to me why consistency would be especially useful here. It's not like someone using track.cues[0] is going to wonder why he can't do track.cues.item(0) instead. Arrays don't support that, right? If we should be pursuing convergence, it's with Array, not with a random smattering of DOM interfaces that have a variety of additional ways of obtaining the array items in addition to the regular getter syntax.
