There was a problem hiding this comment.
Given that all user agents do this already and so there is no user-facing change, this make sense. Thanks for sorting out @MattiasBuelens . I did a quick check and I don't see anywhere else in the stream docs where an update to comment on this is useful.

Description
The Streams specification has been updated to clarify that
ReadableStreamBYOBRequest.viewalways returns aUint8Arraytyped array.Motivation
By making the type of
viewmore precise, readers can be confident that they don't need to check for other kinds of typed arrays when they make use of this API in their code.Additional details
The specification change is in whatwg/streams#1367. All supporting browsers and runtimes already implement this correctly today.
