It is now possible[1] to create chrome-only WebIDL interfaces in
the dom/chrome-webidl/ directory that do not require review by
DOM peers after every change. If you maintain an internal
performance-sensitive XPIDL interface, or are considering
creating one, I'd encourage you to consider migrating it to
WebIDL.
Some caveats to keep in mind:
- Interfaces in this directory must be annotated with
[ChromeOnly]. Dictionaries, however, can be included without any
special annotations.
- If you are new to writing WebIDL files, I'd still encourage
you to ask a DOM peer to review at least your initial check-in.
- Please make sure that you do not attempt to expose any of the
interface or dictionary types defined in these WebIDL files to
web contexts, through interfaces defined in dom/webidl/. Doing so
would require (and fail) DOM peer review, in any case, but
please think ahead.
Thanks.
