This bug is about a wider thing: it would also prevent making the message even more informative without a spec change... 78834 2 annevk 2012-11-26 16:15:12 +0000 Right. I'm not sure that's desirable, but then I'm not sure it's desirable to expose UA-dependent strings either. 78835 3 w3-bugs 2012-11-26 16:15:55 +0000 This change would also prevent making the message informative for developers who don't speak English by localizing it. 78878 4 cam 2012-11-26 23:26:27 +0000 I think I lean towards not having prescribed messages for DOM exceptions, but either way Web IDL already has a hook for other specs to state what the message is, so I don't think the spec needs changing. 78906 5 annevk 2012-11-27 10:19:36 +0000 Alright, not worth it.
