From the spec for Geometry:
> Objects implementing the [DOMRectReadOnly](https://drafts.fxtf.org/geometry/#domrectreadonly) interface represent a rectangle.
As for "props and methods...": there aren't any methods on `DOMRect`, except a static `fromRect`. The only instance methods are on `DOMQuad`, which are for getting the bounds of the quad, and getting a JSON representation of it (which I assume is a legacy holdover). `DOMMatrix` has a lot of instance methods but it's completely different from the other DOM* geometry nodes, as it's for applying transformations; it just happens to be in the same spec document with the same naming convention.

Mentioning the current Geometry recommendation, is it worth renaming this one as that document is linked under `geometry-1` on w3c? (<https://www.w3.org/TR/geometry-1/>)
