Hello WG. I’ve finally fixed up sequences in Web IDL, and also added an array type. The difference is that: * sequences are effectively pass-by-value, represented by a JS Array or a Java array object, and * arrays are pass-by-reference, represented by a JS host object that acts similarly to an Array (including having Array.prototype in its prototype chain, but not supporting sparse arrays) or by a Java object that implements an interface defined in the spec that allows access to elements and the array length. JS Array objects can also be passed to host objects expecting an array, but the Array object will be converted into the special host object. http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#idl-sequence http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#idl-array http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#es-sequence http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#es-array http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#java-sequence http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#java-array Comments welcome. -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
