+widlproc can be used to validate WebIDL in W3C specifications. It serves as the basis for the [W3C Web IDL on-line checker](http://www.w3.org/2009/07/webidl-check).
+
+widlproc's generated XML is used to generate [webinos JavaScript APIs specifications](http://dev.webinos.org/specifications/draft/).
