What is the issue with the HTML Standard?

c.f. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/system-state.html#NavigatorID-partial

This is marked up as a generic WebIDL block, thus appears in webref as ordinary WebIDL: https://github.com/w3c/webref/blob/aa4cbe72346a8ca14110bbe14dbfe725eae73079/ed/idl/html.idl#L2368-L2371

This means that anything that is using the auto-extracted is only correct if the navigator compatibility mode is Gecko.

For example, wpt.fyi shows that every major browser aside from Firefox fails to correctly implement HTML's WebIDL: https://wpt.fyi/results/html/dom/idlharness.https.html%3Fexclude=(Document|Window|HTML.+)?q=subtest%3A%22navigator%20interface%3A%20attribute%20oscpu%22%20or%20subtest%3A%22navigator%20interface%3A%20operation%20taintenabled%28%29%22&run_id=5194715098251264&run_id=5181332684800000&run_id=5164305890934784

It might be worthwhile making the partial interface non-literal so that we don't end up with it appearing in the WebIDL for every UA.
