--- Comment #2 from Nils Barth <nbarth+w3bugzilla@google.com> ---
AFAICT, String vs. Number is handled in the overload resolution algorithm
(nutshell: if argument is a Number, resolve to numeric if possible;
otherwise use ToString if possible,
otherwise use ToNumber if possible)
http://heycam.github.io/webidl/#dfn-overload-resolution-algorithm

In detail:
10. Otherwise: if V is a Number value, and there is an entry in S that has one
of the following types at position i of its type list,
• a numeric type
...

11. Otherwise: if there is an entry in S that has one of the following types at
position i of its type list,
• DOMString
...

12. Otherwise: if there is an entry in S that has one of the following types at
position i of its type list,
• a numeric type
...
