Stop calling ECMAScript 'JavaScript'

[ghost]

I think the HTML standard should stop making reference to ECMAScript as 'JavaScript'. JavaScript is the technologies historic name and should only be referred as such for backwards compatibility reasons, such as with MIME types.

Using two names for the same product just make it confusing.

Sorry, we disagree, for the reasons explained in the HTML Standard. We have no plans to change this, so I'll close this issue.

(for what it's worth, I do agree that using two names for the same product is confusing. I just disagree that the way to address this is to switch to the less-common name.)
