mark, hi,
after reviewing and reading what HTMLAppletElement and HTMLEmbedElement are,
they are fairly low-priority HTML elements, and so the impact of them being int
or strings is minimal.
the reason why i had been so insistent that they be kept - according to the
de-facto standard that is "javascript" - is because i thought for quite some
time that these were offsetWidth and offsetHeight, of HTMLElement!
so, my case for insisting that the de-facto javascript standard be followed,
even though users will shoot themselves in the foot by doing so, still
applies - and even though we've been talking somewhat at cross-purposes
(for which i apologise) - _but_, given that it's _not_ HTMLElement
(thank god) that you're talking about, but two specific low-key elements,
i don't care enough about those to press the point.
the number of developers using DOM bindings on those elements is going to
be pretty small. so - who cares.
toString is a different matter.
the algorithm that you describe - namely to identify those elements where
toString is offered, followed by identifying the alternate functions - i know
of a place where that algorithm is already implemented...
... it's in a project called... WEBKIT.
making every single developer who uses webkit bindings (and expects
toString to exist) _reimplement_ the functionality that _already_ exists
is... petty at best. i can continue to think of lots of ways to say this:
none of them really get us anywhere, and leave us both wasting time
that would be better spent developing code and serving users.
