Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-10-12 19:04:44 UTC 
Why? Or even, how? The section title would be really long if it included both those method names, not to mention the other method names defined in that section...
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2011-10-13 05:02:04 UTC 
Why? To make it easier to find (some sections have the relevant API in the ToC, e.g. designMode). But I guess that applies to any method. Maybe we should have an index of APIs as an appendix or something.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-10-24 18:20:13 UTC 
An index would make a lot of sense.

An IDL index would be something we can completely automate. The IDL blocks are computer-readable, and for each IDL field there's a corresponding <dfn>. If someone can hack together a quick script that just scans all the IDL blocks and extracts out all the methods and fields and forms an alphabetical index of them, I'd be happy to add that script to my publishing pipeline.

(Please reassign to me if you have such a script.)
