A couple of questions for you:

My first question: How does an ES3.1 "sealed" object relate to fixtures?

______________| ES 3.1 ______| ES4___________
Sealed object | Object.seal  | fixture (var)

My second question is about Object.create. Object.create() mixes adding a
prototype to an object with a
specialized context where the (verbose) object literal contains certain
property names, such as "value", take on contextual meaning to the
property.

1. What happens when an unrecognized property is in the descriptor? (1)
2. Is it only possible to define attributes on the top level? (2)

(1)
Object.create(myProto, {
 method3: {
   enumerable: false, writable: false,
   novalue : true // no [[value]] + custom attribute
 },
 ,method2: undefined
});

(2) Object.create(myProto, {
 o1: {
   enumerable: true, writable: false,
   value : {
     enumerable : false,
     value : undefined
   }
 }
});
