Description
In the procedure to silently set the current time of an animation, step 3 says:
If valid seek time is false, abort this procedure.
It does not say to throw a TypeError, unlike the prior step. It seems strange that we just silently abort in this case. If that's deliberate for some reason, maybe add a "(without throwing an exception)" parenthetical?

Read the “procedure to silently set the current time of an animation” in the Web Animations 2 specification, especially step 3 and the preceding step. Confirm whether an invalid seek time should silently abort or throw a TypeError, then update the procedure wording so the intended behavior is explicit.
