Re: [heycam/webidl] "platform object" for ECMAScript vs. IDL values (#680)

> From one perspective, "platform object" is defined in the language-agnostic section of IDL

<https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-objects>, right?  That has a bunch of references to ECMAScript and it's not clear it's really language-agnostic in any meaningful sense.

That does not seem unreasonable to me.  https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#es-to-interface and https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#interface-to-es make it clear that while conceptually there is a distinction between "ES value representing an interface typed IDL vale" and "an interface typed IDL value", in practice the mapping is some sort of identity mapping, or is in any case easily reversible so it's OK to treat the two things as identical.
