Given that, as you state, "Web Forms 2.0 is a big specification", I'd be
interested in some ideas about what priority you plan to give to
different bits of the spec. Is it just "whatever anyone wants to work
on"? Or are we going to prioritise things implemented by others, or
things we agree with other browser vendors are most useful, or things
web authors are shouting for loudest?

Why not just nsIDOMFooInterface2? That's what we normally do to rev an
interface. Is saying "This is WF2" not unnecessarily restricting?
Hypothetical scenario as an example: the W3C picks up and standardises
WF2 as part of a new HTML 5 spec. Then the interface names are wrong.
