Almost yes, this patch is working for spidermonkey 1.7 and probably 1.8
( I'm not sure what the other developers think about it? There was no
comment at all :/)

You got this wrong, spidermonkey is just the JavaScript engine, it has
nothing to
do with the DOM binding. That has still to be done. But I think binding
JavaScript to the DOM should be almost the same for 1.7 / 1.8.

But there is also one important type missing within 1.7: c-types.
I guess it will be used by developers quite often, because
HTML5 brings also the ability to create files with javscript and offer
them for download.

On the other side, it's probably not so much work to get c-types API
running with spidermonkey 1.7.
