Currently Web IDL says that when getting an attribute of type
sequence<T>, a new JS Array object is returned.  For array types,
T[], a host object with particular [[Get]] and [[Put]] behaviour is
meant to be used, which makes it similar to a native Array.

Both of these things are pretty speculative, and could do with review.
