For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: By "everywhere" I assume you just mean FunctionStringCallback, part of the new drag-and-drop API.
Checked in as WHATWG revision r6821. Check-in comment: Allow people to pass an object to the drag-and-drop string callback so that they can store information in the callback object rather than using a closure, since apparently closures are too confusing. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=6820&to=6821
