But only because this private state feature is for some reason tied to object allocation. So going back to your original question, > To clarify, since this was not completely clear, the question is whether > anything other than object allocation will be allowed only through a > constructor? I guess the answer is still no :). The question is whether this private state feature design (1) really needs to be tied to allocation; (2) if it does, then will it even be usable for custom elements? I.e., do you see any plausible world in which you're allowed to create a custom element with a custom allocator, instead of the browser-supplied HTMLElement one? _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
