Why? What is BufferSource? What problem does this solve? Context?
Comment 2 Anne 2014-10-15 07:11:41 UTC 
It defines in more detail how to obtain data from either an ArrayBufferView or ArrayBuffer (and similar such objects if we introduce more going forward). It's a new shared abstraction that all features that get byte input can reuse.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-10-15 18:31:11 UTC 
Where is it defined?
Comment 4 Anne 2014-10-16 07:26:04 UTC 
In IDL. IDL now deals better with the whole byte story after TC39 took them over.
