JavaScript -> ECMAScript.
The es5.github.com page isn't normative, so we should reference 
 http://ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.10
instead.

One problem is that no browser implements the specification without extensions,
so dart2js will definitly accept more than the spec, and if the VM uses irregexp
unmodified, it will too :(
We should probably not say anything about that now.

Thanks! Updated.
I agree. Going into those extensions is going to be too much detail for this doc
comment. :)
