Specifically, should JSON.stringify on a DOMRect produce "{}" as it does
not per spec or something more like
'{"height":3462,"width":1263,"left":0,"bottom":3462,"right":1263,"top":0}'?
What are the use cases for JSON stringifying geometry objects?
It seems to me the returned object should have the same shape as the *Init
dictionaries, so you can use it in the constructors that accept them.
For DOMRect, the first-class properties are x, y, width, height, so { x,
y, width, height }.
For DOMPoint, we could either always serialize { x, y, w, z } or only
serialize { x, y } when w = 0 and z = 1.
For DOMQuad I guess it would just serialize as { p1, p2, p3, p4 } (without
bounds).
For DOMMatrix, I guess it makes sense to serialize an array with the
elements. We could either always serialize all of them or only serialize 6
elements when is2D returns true.
