Description Robin Berjon 2012-10-30 13:13:58 UTC 
If you track through the grammar, you get (removing paths irrelevant to this problem):

InterfaceMember → AttributeOrOperationOrIterator
AttributeOrOperationOrIterator → Qualifier AttributeOrOperationRest
Qualifier → "static" | "stringifier"
AttributeOrOperationRest → OperationRest
OperationRest → OptionalIdentifier "(" ArgumentList ")" ";"

So putting all of that together, it's impossible to specify a return type for static or stringifier operations. It should probably be ReturnType OperationRest in there.
