It's required for web compat, as I said earlier in this thread. They
_could_ perhaps be predefined as data properties set to null,
Right, Brandon Benvie raised this idea. It goes back to the simpler data
(and masquerading native accessor) model of ur-JS/DOM.
but data properties which have as a side effect of setting them to a
function object the registration of an event listener... which starts
to look a lot like an accessor property to me.
It does, unless there's an equivalent "polling" semantics where no
registration is required, just recurring [[Get]] probes (with caching
optimizations, whatever -- all unobservable so out of the spec's sight).
Is there such an equivalent "polling" or "probing" semantics?
