#2682 — Rename [[Origin]]


Boris Zbarsky just pointed this out to me.

In HTML, "origin" means something else, something much older and more important:

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#origin-0
> Origins are the fundamental currency of the Web's security model.

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#text/html
> HTML relies on a compartmentalization scheme sometimes known as the
> same-origin policy. An origin in most cases consists of all the pages
> served from the same host, on the same port, using the same protocol.

Let's rename [[Origin]] to something like [[DescriptorObject]].


fixed in rev26 editor's fraft
