After I wrote a blog article on this subject someone suggested I
raise the issue here.
Currently, ECMA 262 3rd edition section 9.8.1, the ToString operator
permits implementations to vary in how they convert certain numbers
to strings. For example the number 5e-324 could legally be

Should a reference implementation, even if slow, count?
My own opinion on this is no.
Since, for the most part, a reference implementation doesn't face the
performance and maintainability challenges that shipping software
faces, I don't think it fleshes out the same issues that a real-world

The hurdle is certainly higher for ES4, although it may be less high
given its reference implementation, which could pass the tests.

I'd say that good faith is good enough. It's easy enough for us to
check

A few thoughts on the general topic and various points that are been raised:
Overall, I think this is a good idea. My personal opinion is that
standardization should follow proven utility, not the other way around.
However, it's difficult to get meaningful use of proposed web standards until
Hi,
Since FunctionExpression is PrimaryExpression, so the following statement:
a = function() return b ? c : d;
should be:
a = fe ? c : d
fe = function() return b
or
a = fe
fe = function() return b ? c : d
And same question for LetExpression.
