I would like to see us take a principled stance on resource exhaustion
errors in ES7. This includes both stack and heap, and both space and time.
For example, the browser behavior on terminating a turn that takes too long
and proceeding silently to the next turn leaves arbitrary invariants
broken. Other resource exhaustion conditions cause the same problems.

Paging Allen. If defining this needs to start anywhere, it would
probably be ECMAScript.

No.

However, they come up pretty regularly in practice.  In fact, some sites 
depend on them for proper functioning.  :(

Are stack overflow exceptions even a thing per standards?

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17713 is the issue on
clarifying exception behavior around events. (Please don't use DOM
Level 3 Events as a reference for implementing the event model.)
