i18n API - Intl object.
It takes a few steps to find the information, but I think the Internationalization API spec together with the Language spec cover this:
Clause 8 of the Internationalization API spec says: "The Intl object is a standard built-in object that is the initial value of the Intl property of the global object."
Clause 7 of the Internationalization API spec says: "Unless specified otherwise in this document, the objects, functions, and constructors described in this standard are subject to the generic requirements and restrictions specified for standard built-in ECMAScript objects in the ECMAScript Language Specification 5.1 edition, introduction of clause 15, or successor."
Clause 15 of the Language spec says: "Every other property described in this clause has the attributes { [[Writable]]: true, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true } unless otherwise specified."
Ergo: The Intl property of the global object has the attributes { [[Writable]]: true, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: true }.

Thanks for the clarification. Hopefully a HTML version of the i18n spec can also be published that links to the right places in the Lang spec. Makes the jumping around easier :)

Agreed. Cc'ing Jason Orendorff
Norbert, perhaps you could work with Jason to export the i18n spec to HTML, as he has a tool that (not quite automatically) converts to HTML. I know that he and Allen produced the ES6 in HTML as well
The i18n spec is currently lacking detail on the properties of Intl object. I expected to see something like the following in the spec:
{[[Enumerable]]: false, [[Writable]]: true, [[Configurable]]: true}
Particularly, is it [[Enumerable]]? If so, what is the use case?
