ES3.1 Draft: 11 June 2008 version available

[Lars Hansen]

Fair question.  I don't recall that it has been spelled out carefully,
actually.  I'll take a stab at it in the morning.  (Also, the ES3 ->
ES3.1 and ES3 -> ES4 relationships are important.)  Any useful
definition will have to deal with bugfixes and security fixes (like
global type names being read-only under some circumstances in ES4).
