Well, the same could be asked of pretty much any new interface, since usually they're comparable to some existing interface or other. I think it's probably best to just avoid the numeric constant pattern in all new interfaces, but maybe other people have different opinions.

Probably not worth my time, since I don't know if they'll agree that it's a bad pattern. > EventSource: This one is widely implemented. Okay. 61202 3 ian 2011-12-08 00:04:55 +0000 The media ones are closely related to each other, so I think the consistency argument is stronger than with other cases. In general for new constants that are not clearly ordered (i.e. where it doesn't make sense to compare them with the > operator), I agree.
