From discussions on the list, it seems we have a clear consensus to change this to something more sensible. I agree it does make some sense for the committee to defer to editor's prerogative to some extent, especially considering the asymmetry of work undertaken. But given the direction we likely wish to take this in the future, the ES5 draft spec language here is, as previously discussed, likely *worse* than reverting this table to the ES3 spec language. Better is to have typeof "function" iff [[Class]] is "Function". This requires only the change to the table that Brendan asked someone to draft and which I have posted to the list. If we can't agree on that, then let's please at least revert to the ES3 language or accept David-Sarah's proposed change. Any of these options are better than leaving the current ES5 language alone. -- Cheers, --MarkM
