Isn't this confusing with ArrayBufferView, which afaict is read/write?

I think DomRectReadOnly is a fine name. Anyone who expects "readonly" to 
mean "immutable" will already be confused by DOM, WebIDL, and numerous 
other libraries and frameworks that use "readonly" in some situation 
where the mutability depends on who is trying to make the change (e.g. 
[1], [2])
