Comment 1 Philip Jägenstedt 2014-01-18 10:43:00 UTC 
In my ad-hoc testing, Firefox Nightly is the only browser to throw an exception when this argument is missing. Browsers which did not throw are Opera Next 19.0 (Blink), Opera 12.16 (Presto), Safari 7.0.1 (WebKit) and IE11.
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-01-21 21:54:04 UTC 
Ok.
