It's not.

Because that makes the API near-impossible to use: if you do anything 
that changes geometry, suddenly the object you're using in your 
calculations for changing that geometry changes...

I personally see no problem with allowing the page to mutate the object 
returned from getBoundingClientRect, fwiw.  It's always a new object, etc.
