Editorial: remove /*sealed*/ annotation

annevk · zcorpan · commit e6aaf5fd5b66 · 2016-08-31T10:55:55.000+02:00
It was added to discourage other specification editors from creating subclasses of the annotated classes. The reasons for removing this annotation are: 1) It’s unlikely someone will create a subclass. 2) The annotation doesn’t really make the intention clear. 3) If someone created a subclass it would be subject to sufficient scrutiny. 4) Anne keeps confusing himself with it. (This was also discussed in whatwg#643, if you wanted to read even more about this.)
