Description

I recommend rewording things in the style of https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/ so this specification becomes more consistent with other web platform specifications.

E.g., rather than using "Assign", use "Set obj's y to z."

Research direction

Read the WebCodecs specification alongside the conventions in https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/. Identify terminology and imperative wording such as “Assign” that differs from Infra-style phrasing; done means the affected specification text is made consistently readable in that style.
