Most constructor specifications in section 15 fail to mention that they create objects in conformance to the requirements specified in the corresponding Properties or Instances section for that constructor. Sometimes requirements are redundantly specified in both the constructor spec. and in the Properties of Instances section. This creates a danger of those sections getting out of sync with each other.

deferred to ES7
some of this has probably been correct in the ES6 spec. but an overall review would be a good idea
