Post 'em here, that's what everyone else has done.

Oddly, the spec itself doesn't tell me, nor does ECMA's web page for the spec, nor its web page for TC39. The only place where I found a solicitation for feedback is www.ecmascript.org/community.php . It points to the Harmony wiki, but that appears to be readonly for outsiders. Ditto the Trac db, although there's a button to register; but it seems kind of inactive (only 7 events in the last year).
So I'm asking here: what's the best means (and form) for giving feedback on the ES5 spec to TC39?
This lack of explanation is a serious problem. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
The best place to post is to es5-discuss at mozilla.org so suggested errata can easily be found. Often such messages are addressed to es-discuss as well, especially if the issue is likely to be of general interest.

I've added a link at the obvious place on the EcmaScript wiki to the es5-discuss list.
Actually, es5-discuss at mozilla is the preferred place to post such issues. They have more chance of being lost if you post them here.

Thanks, I'll post there.

Thanks again. It might be a good idea to add it to www.ecmascript.org/community.php as well (and say that it's the best avenue).

Good call. I've updated community.php to link to es5-discuss and mention that it's the place to discuss errata.
Thanks,
