Description Aryeh Gregor 2011-12-27 14:54:59 UTC 
E.g.:

  void prepend((Node or DOMString)... nodes);

As with the enum, this a) leaves precise error-handling behavior undefined, and b) makes it impossible to process the IDLs automatically (such as with idlharness.js).  Please either get WebIDL changed to allow this syntax, or use "any" for now and define the precise behavior in prose.

My bad, looks like a recent WebIDL change.
