It would be nice to design something that was compatible with user-defined constructor bodies in some future version. The current situation is tenable; authors could just mix in behavior to the prototype object that is created by the constructor generation algorithm. If authors can specify a prototype, there’s a semantic question – do they specify the object which is first link in the prototype chain, and a separate prototype object is still synthesized; or do they specify the generated constructor’s prototype directly? The former case (prototype object is always synthesized) leaves open the possibility of requiring GeneratedConstructor.prototype.constructor === GeneratedConstructor and implies that there is at least one unique prototype object per custom element. These might be useful properties for implementers to exploit. 68926 2 dglazkov 2012-06-11 21:24:20 +0000 Defined in http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/rev/e6edb53aa5d9 and on.
