Christian: I'm not sure what this API does - the request was to rename some methods. Mozilla comments are positive; WebKit proposed the renaming - I think it's fine to call these factory methods differently; I put a draft comment in the private thread.
Martin: This is idiomatic. +1
DanA: I suggest we do that, please leave the feedback Christian, and note that it's TAG consensus feedback.
