I certainly agree that it would be better to move the definition of
when to throw exceptions into the prose for each function and
attribute, but that's a big change that I don't think we should block
on. (In fact, it might be big enough that we don't want to take it on
at all, but that's something we shouldn't decide on here).
Is the order of exceptions defined? E.g. if a method can throw two
different
exceptions and you violate both requirements, which exception throws?
That's
one of the minor problems this legacy DOM-style gives.
I suspect that's not always defined no. It doesn't seem like a huge
deal, but it's definitely another argument for moving away from
depending on the current style.
Yes, I would much prefer if specs currently using ReSpec moved towards
using algorithms like the HTML spec. It's much clearer and is less likely
to have gaping holes for edge cases.
