Could you point out where 'reference types' are mentioned in the ecmascript spec?
I can't find it anywhere in the language specification.

It would if it talked about object references.
The references mentioned there are property references.
For example, in delete a.b; a.b is a reference.
"The Reference type is used to explain the behaviour of such operators as delete, typeof, and the assignment operators."
Can you find anything about 'reference types' that's relevant to object values or anything mentioned in this article?
To be specific, anywhere that supports the claim that objects, functions, and arrays are reference type values.
