Hi Michael, I don't believe this was discussed in the past. I personally think this sounds like a good idea and there are valid use cases for it. I would happily add this to the specification if no one objects. Kr, Christophe Dumez.

The goal of this feature would be to save battery power. If the system has flexibility about when to precisely run a task, it could batch multiple tasks together, or only run tasks when the device is awake. This way, we could avoid waking up devices too frequently. Some use cases require precise scheduling e.g. an alarm in the morning, or a cooking timer. But there are many tasks that are much less time sensitive, these could be scheduled flexibly e.g. syncing a news feed or auto-updating to a new version. Any comments? My apologies if this issue has been discussed previously. Regards, Michael van Ouwerkerk -- Kenneth Rohde Christiansen Web Platform Architect, Intel Corporation.
