Web IDL for our API spec.

Doug,

Thanks for your response on the use of Web IDL for our API spec.

You say that WebIDL pros are
1) it provides ECMAscript (Javascript) and Java bindings as a single
declaration
2) it is easier to write
3) it is more precise

I have read that Web IDL is a variant of Object Management Group’s IDL
How different is WebIDL vs IDL OMG ?
Lots of differences ?

The Annot WG is interested in using Web IDL. Would you or someone from
the Web Applications WG would be willing to give us a help to use it to
describe our API, as there is no knowledge of it in our WG.


I have seen that HTML does use WebIDL for JavaScript bindings.

This comforts the WG for using WebIDl as it is still an unstable Working 
Draft.
