I have uploaded to the wiki (link<http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=es3.1:es3.1_proposal_working_draft >) the 15 Jan 2009 draft of the specification for ES3.1. This is in the form of in-place edits and markups to the ES3 specification. Revision history is at the end of the document.

This shall be the document to use for review at the upcoming TC39 meeting (28/29 Jan, MountainView, Google). If there are any updates or revisions prior to the meeting, we will post them on the wiki as well as on the discuss lists.

FWIW, it seems there is a mismatch between the draft and what Internet Explorer 8 appears to be shipping or maybe I am misunderstanding something.

That is, section 8.10.5 uses "get" and "set" as keywords where Internet Explorer 8 uses "getter" and "setter" according to its documentation.

(Section 11.1.5 pretty much has to use "get" and "set" because of three shipping implementations.)

ES3.1 isn't settled yet, but surely using the terminology from what will be the next JS spec seems best...and in this case that's what MSFT did, I think rightly. It is super annoying that they didn't include the get/set aliases for compat, thought.
