See: whatwg/html#1176 (also w3c/IndexedDB#124).

Suggested changes to https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-exceptions :

  • Remove quotation marks around the simple exceptions and maybe use emu-val for them too
  • Maybe remove Error from that list, and note that it's reserved for developer-created errors (similar to how SyntaxError is reserved for JS parser errors)
  • Change "Exceptions can be created by providing its error name." to something spelling out that for simple exceptions you provide the name and for DOMExceptions you say DOMException + the name in quotes.
  • Change all the examples; also add more cross-links to them and fix their typography
