Comment 1 Boris Zbarsky 2012-04-09 14:37:41 UTC 
Seems to be supported at least in SpiderMonkey and V8.
Comment 2 Boris Zbarsky 2012-04-09 14:57:13 UTC 
Ms2ger points to bug 13800.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-04-09 15:57:32 UTC 
I don't see why this doesn't work. Could you give a concrete example of HTML+JS that you think the specs don't support but should?

(Note that for Typed Arrays the Typed Array spec defines most of this, as discussed in bug 13800.)
Comment 4 Boris Zbarsky 2012-04-09 16:06:26 UTC 
Ah, I didn't realize that the typed array spec sorta defines this (not quite, but at least the spirit is there).  Maybe there's no issue other than bug 13800, then.
Comment 5 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-04-09 16:25:08 UTC 
I made the link slightly clearer, but long term this will be fixed unambiguously by 13800.
