> FWIW, another possible fix for the DataView issue is to make those operations _not_ throw on DataViews in ECMAScript (and then have the web match). Making errors into non-errors is almost always web-compat. (Fun fact: ArrayBuffer.prototype.byteLength used to be spec'd to throw also; this was changed in [tc39/ecma262#2164](https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/pull/2164).)

Interesting! Looks like this was raised before: https://github.com/tc39/ecma262/issues/2635. I'll comment there to bring this back to TC39's attention.
