since I find that style more precise and idiomatic

It's not clear to me that the former is true (and in fact, making sure that an ES-style spec is not fundamentally buggy in the "doesn't have the desired behavior" sense is _much_ harder than doing it for a WebIDL spec, in my experience).

It's also _much_ harder to read and understand in my experience, and the experience of many other people I've talked to.

I would be interested in knowing what aspects of what you want to specify cannot be expressed in WebIDL + normal DOM spec style.....

and potentially in the future streams could become a language-level feature.

Quite honestly, I would appreciate it if language-level features in ES were not defined with as much error-prone and hard-to-read boilerplate as they are now.

Basically, I want to get ahead of the situation `TextEncoder`/`TextDecoder` 
find themselves in

What "situation" is that, exactly?
