@rniwa - can you please review?

I'm sorry this is nothing personal but as a matter of principle, I have to keep complaining the impreciseness of the definition. It's even beyond whether we can make sense and implement it in WebKit or not. The work we're doing here is come up with a standard whereby if someone were to write a brand new browser engine, the person would be able to successfully come up with an interoperable implementation. Our standards needs to be much higher than that the sentences making sense. We need to precisely define what each term means as if it were a mathematical proof.
