I don't remember discussing this. But if we had, our general principle is that we first need to be compatible with the cross-browser web, and only second with the text of the ES3 standard. A bit of testing reveals that 'prototype' is enumerable on Firefox and not on Safari or Opera. Someone with Windows should test IE. If it isn't enumerable on IE, then the governing principle would be the three of four browsers heuristic. If it is, then since the four browsers are split, either decision is compatible with the cross browser web so we should codify whatever seems most sensible.
Chrome: enumerable Firefox: enumerable IE: not enumerable Safari: not enumerable Opera: not enumerable I doubt there's serious reliance on enumerability or lack thereof of prototype on functions, given this. The results are semi-inconclusive, but given the late date that's a good vote for leaving ES5 as-is, with the incompatible change, in my book. I'll assume such unless others think this is worth more discussion.
