So https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/audio/raw-file/tip/webaudio/specification.html
(is that the correct version?) does not state that these attributes
throw. It seems to state very little in terms of conformance criteria
in fact. But e.g. for panningModel I wonder why that is so different
from e.g. XMLHttpRequest.response or <canvas>'s 2d's miterLimit that
it requires throwing? Is that because the person writing the
specification simply disagrees with prior API art or is there a
legitimate reason?
