1350254 - Use IDL syntax for serializable and transferable objects

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Anne (:annevk)]

HTML now has [Serializable] and [Transferable] syntax to annotate platform objects with that can be serialized and transfered.

We should implement it since it was our suggestion.

Comment 2

Sure. I'm working on the [Serializable] bit; not sure about [Transferable] yet.

The spec doesn't say to do this, but I think we should. See
