bzbarsky has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== ScopedCredentialDescriptor can contain BufferSources that are 
processed async ==
In 
https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dom-webauthentication-makecredential 
step 10, the excludeList member of _options_ is asynchronously passed 
to authenticatorMakeCredential operations.  This member is a sequence 
of ScopedCredentialDescriptor which are required to have a 
BufferSource id.  At this point, that buffer source may be being 
modified concurrently by script, so reading anything from it is 
unsafe.

Presumably somewhere in here there should be a snapshot taken.
