Description

Similar to https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/issues/1864#issuecomment-698579703, I suspect there is an implicit bufferView usage associated with `EXT_mesh_gpu_instancing`, which the spec currently doesn't mention. For example, you probably wouldn't want your instance attributes going into a mixed buffer view alongside animation data. Let's clarify this, so that authoring tools know what to do.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Review the EXT_mesh_gpu_instancing specification and the linked glTF issue to determine the intended bufferView guidance; done means the specification clearly states the expected usage for authoring tools.
