Re: [whatwg/encoding] Prepending or conversion of a sequence possibly not exact enough explained (#239)

Sure, those definitions for prepend and convert might not be formal enough. #215 was a big change, and some of the minor issues fell through the cracks.

Prepend, though, is meant to be a spec-internal algorithm, since it's explicitly [not exported](https://tabatkins.github.io/bikeshed/#dfn-export) under [the Bikeshed/Shepherd data model](https://tabatkins.github.io/bikeshed/#dfn-contract), which means other specs won't find it as easy to link to it. See also the "implementation considerations" appendix, which lists alternatives to implementing prepend _for the uses in the spec_, not for arbitrary uses.
