Description
https://drafts.csswg.org/resize-observer-1/Overview.html#resizeobserversize
interface ResizeObserverSize {
readonly attribute unrestricted double inlineSize;
readonly attribute unrestricted double blockSize;
};
Why make them unrestricted? They are readonly, so they can't be set from a script. They are only set in calculate box size, and I don't think that can be NaN or infinity.
There is no other CSS spec using a readonly unrestricted attribute.

Compare the unrestricted attributes with other CSS specifications and determine whether the declaration needs clarification or a specification change; done means the question has a documented resolution.
