https://github.com/w3c/webvr/issues/192#issuecomment-285460424 is probably related. bajones, what should we do here?

Well, there's a couple of things to do here.

First off, the spec that we're following at the moment is actually https://w3c.github.io/webvr/archive/prerelease/1.1/ Seems to me like step number one is to make that spec more prominent for the time being and stop linking people by default to https://w3c.github.io/webvr/, which is in a weird transitional state right now. :P

Second, based on the conversation ddorwin@ linked to we should change the dictionary name to prevent future conflicts. The exact name is something that we'll settle on soon. I'll ping this bug when it's decided on.

Spec shuffling has a pull request up now: https://github.com/w3c/webvr/pull/206

Also, at this point the name of the dictionary in 1.1 is "VRLayerInit". "VRLayer" as a constructable interface only exists in the 2.0 version of the spec.

Renamed VRLayer to VRLayerInit to match WebVR spec

This won't have any visible effect to developers, since they
never call the dictionary by name. It does however clear a
conflict with the upcoming 2.0 spec, which uses the VRLayer
name.
