Done.

Not necessary.

Done.

You can say: isInstanceOf: "MediaGallery" to declare that the object returned is
of that DOM type.

[vandebo (ex-Chrome), 2012/03/29 18:45:02]

Not sure what you're getting at here.  Eventually I'll fill out all the types
here so that the extension documentation system will describe the entire API -
even those bits which we implement with custom IPCs and IDL.

[Aaron Boodman, 2012/03/30 22:14:57]

It doesn't seem like a great idea to me to duplicate all that information. I
think it is OK for the docs to simply refer to the webplatform-style
documentation elsewhere.

Is this comment right? Extension and App APIs don't typically work this way
(with runtime prompting).

[vandebo (ex-Chrome), 2012/03/29 18:45:02]

No, I copy and pasted from my initial description of the API.  As an OWP
implementation there would be a permission prompt for this call, but not as an
extension.  Removed that part.

These files support comments, so you can just have a regular TODO here.

Done.
