Term “data property” – ambiguous?

Compare:

(1) named data property versus named accessor property versus internal property.
(2) data property versus method

Thus, “data property” seems to be ambiguous.

ECMA-262 is not ambiguous. A method is a data property. Pretending otherwise (see ECMA-357) is folly.

/be

Function-valued data properties = methods
Non-function-valued data properties = ?

Just properties. A "method" is just a `sounding sugar` for 
function-valued properties in this case.
