Yeah, why are *new* (this is from Web Events, not legacy) APIs doing the crazy. Answer: because people imitate older crazy APIs, and WebIDL supports this.
No. In this case it's because the spec started out one way (with the sequence, iirc) but then got changed to the other way, but implementations had already shipped the first way, so now for compat they support both.
If webidl didn't allow this, they'd just use "any..." and define it all in prose, I assume.
