This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Raised during the W3C TAG review ( https://github.com/w3ctag/spec-reviews/issues/3#issuecomment-41521737 )
I'm going to close this as WontFix, for two reasons: 1) This is documenting an existing, implemented behaviour in a number of UAs that dates back to 2011 2) The choice of Quota over Range was made to prevent callers from draining the entropy pool, which is a concept specific to certain cryptographically strong random number generators. In this regard, Quota (as in, a fixed resource) seems more appropriate than Range (as in, exceeding an index)
