I'd be willing to do this. It seems pretty straightforward. If I understand the spec correctly, there are two properties missing x and y.
X, Y, width and height should not be readonly and the others should.
Also, about the name, which is now DOMRect, should I rename it? Or should I just create a new interface and make one inherit from the other?

Reacted by Riyad Shauk, Dennis Brotzky, Zsolt Gulyas and Pavan ReddyTo be backward compatible getBoundingClientRect returns the old and new interface:
let unspecifiedRect = document.body.getBoundingClientRect(); unspecifiedRect.x // fails let domRect = document.body.getBoundingClientRect() as DOMRect; domRect.x // worksReacted by Zsolt GulyasReacted by Riyad Shauk, Sebastián Ferreras, Robert Fohlin-Axelsson, Viktor Blöndal, Sander, quisi.do, Dennis Brotzky, Jeff See, tnicola, ezjoke and 1 moreReacted by Zsolt Gulyas and DmitryReacted by Zsolt Gulyas- locked as resolved and limited conversation to collaborators

TypeScript Version: 2.0.3
Typescript 2.0.3 has a lot of readonly stuff in lib.d.ts.
I am surprised that only height and width is readonly in ClientRect definition.
Is this an error?
Mozillas response of getBoundingClientRect is the other way round:
all but height/width readonly (if i can trust FireBug) and has added x, y
Sidenote: ClientRect has been renamed to DOMRect
