It's only valid as an argument type or a return type. 112192 2 jsbell 2014-09-25 19:05:28 +0000 *sigh* Right. May be why we didn't do this earlier. We could use two different typedefs, (DOMString or sequence<DOMString>) for the operation params and (DOMString or DOMString[]) for the readonly attributes. Kinda lame, though. Not very important anyway; I'll probably punt this unless someone else feels passionate about it.
