Description Erik Arvidsson 2011-12-21 19:32:45 UTC 
DOMTokenList is not a good type here since you cannot set it. We could use a DOMSettableTokenList instead, but...

// With DOMTokenList
contentElement.select = '.foo';  // throws TypeError

// With DOMSettableTokenList
contentElement.select = '.foo';  // throws TypeError
contentElement.select.value = '.foo';  // OK, but SVGish APIs must die

Suggestion: Use DOMString for select and optionally add a selectList property with type DOMTokenList.

I think I'll just use DOMSTring for now. Thanks!
