Re: [whatwg/dom] Introduce AbortSignal.timeout() (PR #1032)

@annevk commented on this pull request.

The main thing I'm worried about for Firefox is that I think @farre or @smaug---- at some point mentioned to me that the clamping logic sits pretty deep in our timeout code. And beyond that, I worry that if we don't enforce clamping for these new timer mechanisms we'll eventually end up back there due to misbehaving websites. But perhaps if no browser budges it's feasible to hold the door.

Needs to reference the new algorithm.
