If I'm correct, it should be removed from the spec. 66363 1 w3c 2012-04-03 11:42:03 +0000 I've only seen one bad instance of it. But I'm ok with not allowing it. 66461 2 cam 2012-04-06 01:18:37 +0000 If nobody uses it, yes let's drop it. We can do that during CR, since I've noted that any features that don't gain adoption in specs will be dropped: http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#cr-exit Marcos, what's the bad instance? 66476 3 w3c 2012-04-06 09:59:44 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > Marcos, what's the bad instance? IIRC, one that was used by an older WAC spec (WACDeviceError or something, though it was probably wrong anyway). Those old specs have been taken offline. 66513 4 cam 2012-04-08 23:34:30 +0000 I've explicitly listed it exception inheritance as "at risk".
