FWIW, it seems there is a mismatch between the draft and what Internet

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.
Your comment confuses me, but it seems the MSDN documentation was wrong
and IE8 will use "get" and "set" as per the latest draft, so all is fine.
