Comment 1 Boris Zbarsky 2012-11-20 06:01:52 UTC 
It has a finite set of values; there's no reason to make it DOMString.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-11-20 06:34:48 UTC 
There's one reason. enum didn't exist when it was specced. :-)
Comment 3 Boris Zbarsky 2012-11-26 04:54:39 UTC 
Well, so it's a bug in the spec and we can fix it.  ;)
Comment 4 contributor 2013-03-29 18:13:10 UTC 
Checked in as WHATWG revision r7781.
Check-in comment: Make document.readyState explicitly an enum, not that that has any real effect.
