I believe he did this because at least two implementors have publicly 
committed to not removing the ability to pass in ArrayBuffer from their

I think anything else would mean that someone implementing per the spec 
would end up with an implementation that's not web-compatible, since 
sites now have no incentive to switch away from using ArrayBuffer. :(
