The above quote is an informal description of ExpectedArgumentCount from an
informative note. If you trace through the actual normative algorithm so see
what it computes for any specific parameter list. The note should be
consistent with the results you get.

Right, in particular what WebIDL means by "optional argument". I optional
argument is equivalent to "A FormalParameter without an initialiser" then it
should exactly match the ES6 rule (for the shortest WebIDL overload).
