Hi!

We just removed serializers[1] from WebIDL and allowed editors to specify toJSON operations[2] directly instead (WebIDL treated toJSON as a reserved identifier up until now).

To deal with common cases, we added a new [Default] extended attribute[3] which triggers the default toJSON operation[4] that behaves similarly to how serializers={attributes} or serializers={attributes, inherit} used to.

All serializer-related productions were removed from the WebIDL grammar. In particular the following non-terminals:

* Serializer
    * Serializer was also removed from the rhs expression of InterfaceMember.
* SerializerRest
* OperationRest
* SerializationPattern
* SerializationPatternMap
* SerializationPatternList

and the following terminals:

* "serializer" in ArgumentNameKeyword.

As usual, please feel free to reach out if anything needs clarification or if you have questions.

Thanks!
