(It has some out of date ES6 terminology that needs updating, but hopefully it is still clear.) 85999 2 cam 2013-04-11 22:39:32 +0000 Do you just want a clarifying note pointing out that "typeof <interfaceobject>" will be function? I can add that, though I think it would be better place in the preceding section http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#interface-object. 86053 3 erik.arvidsson 2013-04-12 17:10:04 +0000 I just thought a note would be useful since more than one smart person failed to come to this conclusion after reading the spec. 91605 4 cam 2013-08-04 07:41:23 +0000 I've added a note: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/webapi/WebIDL/Overview.xml.diff?r1=1.680;r2=1.681;f=h http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/webapi/WebIDL/v1.xml.diff?r1=1.122;r2=1.123;f=h
