dart:html should be split up

[Sean Eagan]

The dart:html library is huge. This leads to some issues:

* makes the documentation extremely difficult to navigate
* importing dart:html really clutters your namespace
* prefixes must be used on top-level names in dart:html to avoid
conflicts with other parts of the library
* if it is not split up now, it will only get bigger over time

It should be split up into smaller libraries. The challenge of course
is where to draw the boundaries for the smaller libraries. Here are
some approximate subsets which should probably be their own library:

SVG* (154 names!)

Audio* (21 names)

CSS* (18 names)

IDB* (18 names)

WebGL* (17 names)

*Worker* (13 names)

Speech* (12 names)

typed arrays (11 names)
see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript_typed_arrays

Canvas* (5 names)

geometry
Point (http://dartbug.com/3053)
Rectangle (http://dartbug.com/issue 3035)
Matrix (http://dartbug.com/issue 3054)
others ?

If there is general agreement on this, I'll file a bug.

Cheers,
Sean Eagan
