Did you really mean "overspecification" in the first sentence? Array.prototype.sort is actually one of the most loosely specified built-in methods. For example, it doesn't say anything about requiring a specific sort algorithm and leaves many possible cases as "implementation-defined". Whether or not this is an appropriate level of specification for this function is a separate discussion.
