Clear rules would also help in discussions like this one:
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3006

Background:
V8 implemented a new version of sin and cos, which is faster, but does not have 
the precision many user want.
One of the comments (#8) said about precision:
- The ECMA script specification clearly states that Math.sin/cos are 
implementation-dependent approximations. There is no guarantees required 
regarding precision.
I think, this feels a little bit odd, because where do we draw the line between 
performance and precision?
So, again clear rules (even if they are not as strict as in Java), would help a 
lot.

All the best
