Removing r? since wpt/WebIDL/ecmascript-binding/class-string-named-properties-object.window.html depends on symbol properties being treated as ordinary by WindowProperties, which does contradict the current spec, but 1) feels like an expected behavior, 2) aligns with legacy platform objects, and 3) is implemented by Blink.

Let's align with Blink and change the spec.

Gecko team implements WindowProperties without underlying structure and rightfully doesn't want to add one just for symbols. Also, even with proposed change (https://github.com/heycam/webidl/pull/963), [[DefineOwnProperty]] would remain weird with supported properties and their current descriptors.

There is a consensus to align implementations with current spec, which is what new patch does.

This error message reads a little weird to me. Maybe, "Defining a property on a WindowProperties is not allowed." or something like that to indicate it is not just failing because something went wrong, but we are actively preventing this on purpose?

Are test changes here from upstream or do you plan to upstream them?

Nicely noted, will change to "is not allowed".

Since test changes are rather substantial, I would rather have them reviewed by WPT people as well, before upstreaming (https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/27970).
