Description Domenic Denicola 2015-04-27 17:59:22 UTC 
> Let point 1 be the result of invoking fromPoint() static method on DOMPoint with the p1 dictionary member of other as argument, if it exists.

Is the intent here that the page can override DOMPoint.fromPoint = ... and thus customize the behavior of fromQuad? If not then it might be best to factor out an algorithm you can refer to by name. If so it might be worth adding a note explicitly noting this.

I could go either way. Allowing overrides is more JavaScript-ey, but pretty rare on the platform. I imagine others would prefer not allowing overrides.

Allowing override is not intentional.
