What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The documentation incorrectly states a map is returned. However as per webauthn spec, it returns a AuthenticationExtensionsClientOutputs. Documentation for that return type is additionally completely absent.

What did you expect to see?

A link to AuthenticationExtensionsClientOutputs which documents the possible extensions.

It looks like the author confused the WebIDL "ordered map" with an actual JS map. We don't document dictionaries so we won't mention the name AuthenticationExtensionsClientOutputs, but we should mention that it's a plain object whose keys and values represent the described entries.
