Description Peter Linss 2013-09-19 18:40:49 UTC 
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#idl-serializers

Spec prose mentions serializers of the form:
[[
serializer = { attribute }; serializer = { inherit, attribute };
]]

But these are not accounted for in the grammar productions.

It's not clear to me that we need all this serializer complexity, fwiw.  Are there actual use cases for it?
