Yeah, I agree that using enumerability is not great. > Throwing if there are unknown properties is also inconsistent with > Object.defineProperty. Do you think this should happen for all users of > dictionaries (if other specs used them)? I don't know about other APIs. But it does seem very unfortunate to simply silently ignore unknown arguments to IDBDatabase.createObjectStore. Though then again, extra (and thus unknown) arguments are ignored to all other DOM calls. / Jonas
