Description Nils Barth 2014-05-09 04:48:46 UTC 
In:
http://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-overloading
specifically:
http://heycam.github.io/webidl/#dfn-distinguishing-argument-index

[[
the booleans in the corresponding list indicating argument optionality must be the same.
]]

should read:
[[
the <a class="dfnref" href="#dfn-optionality-value">optionality values</a> at index j in the all the entries’ optionality lists <span class="rfc2119">MUST</span> be the same.
]]

This is because optionality is no longer a boolean (optional or not), but instead an optionality value, which can be "required", "optional", or "variadic".
