I agree with your argument against the TAG suggestion to consider reusing existing method names. With my web-compat expert hat on I can also say that changing the behavior of insertBefore to NOT reset state is almost certainly not web compatible. This is such longstanding and interoperable behavior that there are almost certainly going to be lots of websites which have accidentally come to depend on state being reset (eg. code which, after moving an iframe, waits for a load callback to reinitialize and activate it). To me it's debatable whether (absent any web compat risk) we'd even want to use the same method name for this different semantics. So IMHO it's certainly not worth the substantial effort, risk and web-developer pain to attempt a breaking change here. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "blink-dev" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to blink-dev+unsubscr...@chromium.org. > To view this discussion visit > https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msgid/blink-dev/CAJn%3DMYb__FWguSj3iSJoBfJqnjjB93uH%2B9DPVHjZ-DxNz5wYew%40mail.gmail.com > <https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msgid/blink-dev/CAJn%3DMYb__FWguSj3iSJoBfJqnjjB93uH%2B9DPVHjZ-DxNz5wYew%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
