Bug 115852 – [NoInterfaceObject] extended attribute should be removed for several interfaces

• Component: Bindings
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Chris Dumez]

The following interfaces have the [NoInterfaceObject] extended attribute:
SecurityPolicy, History, Location, Navigator, Performance, PerformanceEntry, PerformanceMark, PerformanceMeasure, PerformanceNavigation, PerformanceResourceTiming, PerformanceTiming and Screen.

This means that there is no corresponding property on the global Window object with the same name.

However, this is incorrect according to their respective specifications:
- http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/browsers.html#the-history-interface
- http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/browsers.html#the-location-interface
- https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/content-security-policy/raw-file/tip/csp-specification.dev.html#securitypolicy
- http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/webappapis.html#the-navigator-object
- http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#performance
- https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webperf/raw-file/tip/specs/PerformanceTimeline/Overview.html#sec-PerformanceEntry-interface
- http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#performancenavigation
- http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/#performancetiming
- http://www.w3.org/TR/user-timing/#performancemark
- http://www.w3.org/TR/user-timing/#performancemeasure
- http://www.w3c-test.org/webperf/specs/ResourceTiming/#performanceresourcetiming
- http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/#the-screen-interface

We should remove [NoInterfaceObject] from these interfaces to match the specs.

I confirmed the following behavior for Firefox:
All of them are exposed except SecurityPolicy, PerformanceEntry, PerformanceMark, PerformanceMeasure, PerformanceResourceTiming. The ones that are not exposed are unimplemented.
