Description Boris Zbarsky 2015-02-09 20:56:03 UTC 
In practice, every single "setter" in the platform is also a "creator" and vice versa.  All four of them (DOMStringMap, HTMLOptionsCollection, HTMLSelectElement, and Storage).

This would allow some simplifications to [[DefineOwnProperty]] and the [[Set]] that we need to define in bug 26521.
