[cssom-view] "static DOMRect"

https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-view/#dom-element-getboundingclientrect

If the list is empty return a static DOMRect object

What precisely does "static" mean here? Neither CSSOM View nor Geometry Interfaces seems to define staticness, either generally or in relation to DOMRect specifically. And the WebIDL static keyword doesn't seem applicable here.

Perhaps DOMRectReadOnly was intended?

It means not live. I can clarify...

[cvrebert]

@zcorpan Are live DOMRects a thing, or are the "not live" notes purely for the avoidance of doubt?

[zcorpan]

I think there aren't any live DOMRects, but there could be. (DOMQuad used to have a live bounds attribute.)
