Log:
[e] (0) First hack attempt at converting from referring to the old TypedArray spec to referring to the JS spec's version. I couldn't work out how to actually do a good job of referring to all the JS algorithms, so please file bugs with proposed replacement text for anything that's poorly done.
Affected topics: Canvas, DOM APIs, HTML
