http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2012AprJun/0150.html I was previously in favor of keeping things simpler by just doing ArrayBuffer, as it feels more right to have APIs accept the “underlying buffer” instead of “just a view,” but that message changed my mind by giving a practical argument why that is not tenable.
