"Notes on analogous WebGL proposal" doesn't quite work #4

In particular

  gl.drawingBufferToneMapping = { mode:"extended" };

implies setting the value of an attribute to a dictionary. But Web IDL attributes cannot return dictionaries, so this would break.

You'd need either something like

gl.setDrawingBufferToneMapping({ mode: "extended" });

// now gl.getDrawinBufferToneMapping() can return a fresh dictionary each time

or

gl.drawingBufferToneMappingMode = "extended";

// and future extensions will also need to be flattened

Thanks for the input! I'll discuss with the WebGL people about resolving this. The WebGPU API is much nicer in terms of setting these properties.
