I don't think that solution will get past the editors of the Typed Array spec (or the TAG, it looks like), but at least we agree the issue must be fixed one way or another.

To be clear, WebKit has already fixed this issue (and so, I believe, has Blink), without exposing "non-neuterable ArrayBuffers" to the web.  We did introduce the concept of non-neuterable buffers internally, but only as an implementation detail, and that detail is not web-exposed.

So, Chris's proposal may well be moot.
