Per Allen it is solely intended for parse errors of JavaScript. That it was used for JSON was a mistake and we should probably not give opportunity to spread it further (so defaulting to DOMException "SyntaxError" is great already). 112629 1 cam 2014-10-03 08:35:06 +0000 Should I just remove it from the list of "simple exceptions" then? If it's not meant to be used anywhere else that'd be better than warning people off it. 112631 2 annevk 2014-10-03 08:41:23 +0000 Yeah I guess that's fine. Perhaps better to change IDL to allow it once there's an Allen-vetted use case. 112634 3 cam 2014-10-03 08:54:26 +0000 Done: https://github.com/heycam/webidl/commit/8963248ebcddfc33f1296402c7e6566749d5e2d0
