[Bug 27790] [MSE] Some of the attributes returning TimeRanges objects seem to return a new object each time the getter is invoked

--- Comment #2 from Boris Zbarsky <bzbarsky@mit.edu> ---
That HTML/WHATWG bug has existed for a while and been ignored.  Basically, Ian
thinks it's not an issue in WHATWG because he tends not to care too much about
consistency with JS author expectations, the HTML WG is not aiming to change
things like this from the WHATWG spec (though this is a case where sanity via
the HTML WG might have been nice), and as far as I can tell the TAG hasn't
really been looking very closely at HTML, because it's too big, so here we are.

Changing this for HTMLMediaElement is also harder because those bits have been
shipping in browsers for a good long while now...

But just because the HTML situation is broken due to the politics around HTML
and possible legacy compat issues doesn't mean we should be spreading the
brokenness further to new specs, imo.
