The behavior of build-in objects and methods cannot be context sensitive in this manner because object references flow across such contexts but methods are generally unware from what sort of context they are being called from. That's why strict mode restrictions are source code contextual and not object contextual. I'm betting that the world doesn't end if subarray starts throw if applied to a typed array with a neutered buffer. I still try to see if one or more of the browser implementations are willing to try the experiment. Allen
