Re: [heycam/webidl] Merge design principles for numeric types into the spec (#337)

I don't understand why octet is okay if you want 0-255, but short would not be okay if you want a 16-bit integer (a URL port, though not exposed as such currently in APIs), or long if you want a 32-bit integer (IPv4 address, though not exposed as such currently in APIs).

(I also still think we should try to get rid of octet and name it byte instead, since that's how (now) Infra defines it.)
