  Yes, that would be an improvement IMHO.

  Hum, I understand ... Publishing then as a NOTE from the WG
should not be too costly. Bringing them to REC is another story ...
  In perspective, C(++) binding wasn't added to DOM by lack of
perceived resources. The fact that existing bindings were glued into
the REC also made it more difficult to provide those bindings later on
(or fix existing ones when broken).
