In 12.2.1 "Let and Const Declarations",
under "Runtime Semantics: Binding Initialisation",
step 1.a says:
"Let name be String Value Identifier."

Insert "of" before "Identifier".

corrected in editor's draft

I've been somewhat noncommittal about whether a "of" should always be used in the pattern for invoking a semantic routine on a production. I'm going to try to consistently use the "of"

Really? I think this is the only example where I expected to see it but didn't.
(Oh, just found another: "... if ReferencesSuper MethodDefinition is true."
in 11.1.5.)

One variation I *did* notice (in the patterns for invoking semantic routines)
was whether to use "the".
E.g.
Let names be VarDeclaredNames of X.
vs
Let names be the VarDeclaredNames of X.
Wasn't sure if I should bring it up.
