    <thetext>&quot;This interface must inherit from the Element interface.&quot;

The linked definition of inherit says:

&quot;An interface can be defined to inherit from another interface. If the identifier of the interface is followed by a U+003A COLON (&quot;:&quot;) character and an identifier, then that identifier identifies the inherited interface. An object that implements an interface that inherits from another also implements that inherited interface.&quot;

Thus it seems &quot;inherit&quot; has a specific meaning of one step, not the transitive closure, which seems to be &quot;implements&quot;.</thetext>

    <thetext>I see what you&apos;re saying. I gave it a stab, but the problem is that &quot;implements an interface&quot; is not defined anywhere. In fact, WebIDL refers to &quot;inherits&quot; as the basic building block. I think we should leave it be for now.</thetext>
