Description Ryosuke Niwa 2013-05-06 20:09:44 PDT

We should consider merging
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/cdd5a914daf3862379a5ce4596149bd690d0fa08
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/06e4a37f6b11348606de5405edac1ada97499d2a
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/47ca40efdf58a4787aa33aa75a35778899b1c002
and others to allow constructs like:
new Text(~);
possible per DOM4.

Should this be proposed and accepted as an extension to DOM4 [1] first? Otherwise, is this not a vendor specific extension to the DOM?

Do you have a reference to the proposal/acceptance thread? It is not in the DOM4 spec I referenced.
