That setting is not "trivial" or that it may throw an exception is not in itself reason to have a setter function, an IDL attribute setter can do the same thing. See HTMLMediaElement.controller for an analogous situation: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html#dom-media-controller Here the getter is trivial but the setter does all kinds of things. 99108 1 philipj 2014-01-26 17:04:00 +0000 If a change is being made anyway, I'd also suggest naming the IDL attribute just keys. MediaError is error, MediaControls is controls and MediaKeys is... mediaKeys. 100803 2 adrianba 2014-02-18 16:44:09 +0000 We discussed this a long time ago and concluded that we wanted a method. I'm not sure anything has changed to make us reconsider this. Clearly this is mostly subjective and we decided in 2012 to use a method.
