Just as an input, Web IDL supports "namespace", which is different from a namespace-ish object.
Example) https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom/#the-css.escape()-method CSS namespace appears as "window.CSS" in JavaScript. "window.navigator" is a (singleton) instance of Navigator interface (hence the object can be stateful) and not a namespace (which is stateless). It's a convention that Web IDL namespace's name starts with an uppercase (window.CSS) while Web IDL attribute's name starts with a lowercase (window.navigator). Web IDL namespaces are exposed on global objects (like "window.CSS").
