Actually yes, for writing tests for convertRectFromNode and
convertQuadFromNode I need constructors that let me construct arbitrary
DOMRects and DOMQuads. Is that a valid use-case? I think so :-).

For DOMRect I suggest:
[Constructor(double left, double top, double width, double height)]
For DOMQuad:
[Constructor(DOMRect rect),
 Constructor(DOMPoint p1, DOMPoint p2, DOMPoint p3, DOMPoint p4)]

One question about the DOMRect constructor: Should we allow negative
width/height? I think not. (And APIs should never create DOMRects with
negative width/height.)

For DOMQuad, should we allow self-intersecting quads? I can't see a reason
not to.
