Looking at Dataview, it seems as if it really doesn't matter if the array is a typed array or simply ArrayBuffer. The setting and getting is based on the type of the set or get and alignment is apparently not a concern. The key thing seems to be keeping the byte offset correctly tracking the data. But, I think you're right, Dataview makes the code cleaner rather than cryptic data conversion code.
Update: it's too bad the byte offset isn't post incremented by the size of the object that's set or get.
