Agreed. I raised this issue a while ago. Per Allen
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-script-coord/2013AprJun/0006.html
the situation should become better. We should either start re-using
that terminology directly or through some IDL bridge once ES6 hits
stable and update everything that is currently sketchy at best. I will
try to clarify the text meanwhile and a reminder to update it once the
aforementioned happens.
