Description Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2011-08-02 22:37:43 UTC
Found a reference to a legacy WebIDL concept. With the recent WebIDL last call document, the terminology for this concept has been updated:

Current Spec text:
The terms supported property indices, supported property names, determine the value of an indexed property, determine the value of a named property, **array host objects**, and read only (when applied to arrays) are used as defined in the WebIDL specification. 

(emphasis mine)

Suggestion:
The "array host object" concept should be renamed to "platform array object".
