That's a good question. I mostly took after <a> / Location and what existing URL libraries offered, and nobody has questioned that design much to date. It is implemented now in Firefox/Chrome though. URLSearchParams is mutable and that's definitely desired. So if we still want to expose equivalent functionality we'd have to provide a readonly variant of that. We could at some point provide a URLValue API maybe for immutable URLs (and have operator overloading). -- http://annevankesteren.nl/ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
