Check-in comment: require that document.images and friends always return the same object. This'll be great until either we find that browsers don't always return the same object or until someone notices that this implies that two different Documents will return the same object. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=8764&to=8765 111451 2 bzbarsky 2014-09-12 17:54:12 +0000 > this implies that two different Documents will return the same object How so, exactly? 111488 3 Ms2ger 2014-09-14 19:35:08 +0000 "The same object must be returned each time."; I assume Hixie was being overly pedantic here. (And that's coming from me :).) 111489 4 ian 2014-09-14 21:08:03 +0000 Yeah. The wording is the same as in other parts of the spec, and we seem to have interop with those, so I'm leaving it as-is for now. 111490 5 bzbarsky 2014-09-14 21:27:47 +0000 Yeah, we could throw in something about each time the getter is invoked on with the same Document as "this", I guess... 111491 6 bzbarsky 2014-09-14 21:28:44 +0000 Or you could use [SameObject] and get this for free from Web IDL (which defines this a little more carefully). 112089 7 ian 2014-09-24 17:40:33 +0000 Ok I moved the spec to [SameObject] throughout. The diff below contains this change and others, sorry for mixing them together but they were all part of one editing session. 112090 8 contributor 2014-09-24 17:40:50 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r8808.
