  Target Milestone: ---

I may have missed something but I initially read the ECMAScript bindings
section for enumerations [1] and it said to throw a TypeError if the input
value is not a valid value for this enumeration.

However, I then noticed a Note in the non-ECMAScript enumeration section [2]
that says we should only throw when converting operation arguments but NOT when
assigning an attribute. If this is really the intended behavior for ECMAScript
bindings, I think it would be worse specifying it in [1] instead of simply in a
Note.
