Comment:
"When called with two arguments, the document.open() method must act as
follows:" - probably should read "When called with two OR LESS arguments",
otherwise how the document.open() (without arguments, referred to in
document.write()) should be handled?

Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-08-18 20:43:43 UTC 
Technically, WebIDL always calls it with two arguments even if you omit them, because they're optional at the WebIDL level. But I can make that clearer.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8773.
Check-in comment: document.open() is always called with two arguments given WebIDL argument defaulting, but add a parenthetical 'or fewer' so we don't have to explain that.
