Now I’m confused again. That contradicts what Allen said earlier in this thread: On 5 Aug 2014, at 16:20, Allen Wirfs-Brock <al...@wirfs-brock.com> wrote: > Regarding, leading 0 constants in strict mode. The long term plan is to > eventually make them legal decimal constants. I stand by my earlier suggestion: 1. Accept decimal integer literals with leading `0`, even in strict mode. 2. Interpret the value of such literals as octal in case they consist of octal digits only. (Note: this is already in Annex B – see `LegacyOctalIntegerLiteral`.) Strict mode would accept `08` as it’s a zero-prefixed decimal literal but not `07` since that’s an octal literal. This matches what all browsers already do (except Firefox), and fulfills the long-term plan Allen was talking about. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
