What kind of abstraction layer are you thinking of?  As far as I looked at
the working draft, DOMPoint, etc... are regular DOM objects specifically
created for DOM APIs.  I can't think of use cases for these kinds of
objects without DOM.

I feel like we're talking past each other so let me rephrase it again.  All
I'm saying is that whether something is implemented in JSC or WebCore is a
pure implementation detail.  We should be able to do whatever the heck we
please to do as long as our implementations adhere to respect
specifications.  Heck, JSC and WebCore could be a single project called
WebKit that can't be separately built.

And I got the impression typed arrays caught them off guard, so giving them

I understand your concern and sentiment but I'm having a hard time
imagining what kind of problems/concerns would TC39 have with these
interfaces that are clearly prefixed with DOM.
