Description Cameron McCormack 2013-08-02 06:15:15 UTC 
http://www.w3.org/mid/CAJ8+Goi38TphiQu_ig9RLVac8pFdJ+k8gnBvuShw+5XPYEdNgw@mail.gmail.com points out that ES6 now has built-in abstract operations for ToUint8, etc., so we can reuse those rather than keep defining them in Web IDL.
Comment 1 Domenic Denicola 2016-11-12 01:07:38 UTC 
As of https://github.com/heycam/webidl/commit/1bb4774e48acdf8bfaf32a56bfc03d5e32bd69ed Tobie took a different approach which is less amenable to using the ES operations but is IMO better. I think we can close this.
