s/invisible/abstract, directly inaccessible/

As you quoted below, the “[[Class]]” property is a *Specification mechanism* 
only, used to describe steps and execution paths in Specification 
algorithms.  It does not need to be implemented under that name at all; it 
is sufficient that the implementation behaves as specified in the algorithm 
in order to be conforming.

Property *visibility* is a *different* concept in OOP.  With regard to 
ECMAScript, it is only supported by implementations of the abandoned Edition 
4 working draft, in particular by Microsoft JScript .NET and 
Macromedia/Adobe ActionScript 2.0+:
