From my understanding of the WebIDL spec, the idea is that
specifications like IndexedDB should throw exceptions which use the
DOMExceptions interface. The various errors would use different string

now. However, if existing ECMAScript errors can be used, we should use
those.
Cc'ing Cameron so that he can confirm that this is a correct understanding.
That's not actually what the changes allow. The built-in Error types in
ECMAScript are not available at the IDL level. But I think that it
would be better if they are. I can lift them up to the IDL level, and
define what it means to "throw a TypeError" in other languages.
