Do we need two ways to specify getter/setters (in 11.1.5 and 15.2.3.5)

[pratapl]

<script>
// Syntax 1
// the below syntax is supported in the latest versions of FF, Safari and Opera
var o1 = {
           get foo() { return 45; }
         };
// alert(o1.foo); => 45
</script>

<script>
// Syntax 2
// the ES3.1 alternative
var o2 = Object.create(
             p,       // where 'p' is the prototype
             {
                 foo : {
                     getter : function () { return 45; }
                 }
             }
          );
// alert(o2.foo); => 45
</script>

Should we standardize syntax 1, when we are standardizing syntax 2?

Yes, these are distinct things. One is and extension to object literals, the other is part of the relection API. The object literal form is what should be used in most simple scenarios but if you want full control of property attribues you need to use the reflection API.

Finally, 3/4 browser already support the object literal form

Agreed, closing as invalid.
