Hi CSSOM View has a DOMRect interface [1], representing a rectangle. As part of adding new features, it was proposed to make the attributes of DOMRect mutable (for convenience, instead of having to create a new object), but in some situations they should be immutable. The question is how to best specify this. Traditionally, I think DOM specs have just required to either throw or no-op in the immutable state, regardless of JS strict mode. CSSOM's CSSStyleDeclaration#cssText attribute [2] is an example that always throws. Boris Zbarsky suggested it might be better to have two separate interfaces, with the mutable interface has settable attributes and the immutable interface has readonly attributes. [3] WDYT?
