I think that (2) should be the same as (1). I think it makes logical  
sense and matches current implementations. I'm not sure how it should  
be presented or worded.

I think that for (b) we should specify ignoring the additional  
parameters rather than raising an exception. That's more consistent  
with the behavior of the JavaScript language in general, and I'm  
pretty sure all existing implementations do this.
