Description Ms2ger 2012-01-28 17:51:43 UTC 
<http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#dfn-inherit>:

> That identifier MUST NOT be the same as the identifier of the inheriting
> interface.

<http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#dfn-inherited-interfaces>:

> An interface MUST NOT be declared such that its inheritance hierarchy has
> a cycle. That is, an interface A cannot inherit from itself, nor can it
> inherit from another interface B that inherits from A, and so on. 

The former requirement seems redundant.

OK, removed that sentence.
