What a great answer, Cameron! I wish I had thought of that :)

Yes, that will become an issue in time and was going to have a chat with
Geoffrey about how to modify Anolis to handle that as well as handling
what happens when there is no definitions when building the
cross-references (perhaps having a formatter warnings section in the file?).

I also spoke too soon, Geoffrey, --allow-duplicate-dfns is needed
because of this error when compiling Ian's spec:

The term "dom-sharedworkerglobalscope-applicationcache" is defined more
than once

I'm probably doing something wrong... haven't had a chance to look at
Cameron's Makefile pointer yet, so "--allow-duplicate-dfns" is in there
for now. Here's the latest:
