Re: Specifying window.performance.now()

On a related note, as it stands now, the requestAnimationFrame callback
takes a DOM timestamp:

callback FrameRequestCallback = void (DOMTimeStamp
<http://www.w3.org/TR/WebIDL/#common-DOMTimeStamp> time);

In an ideal world, it be cool if the "time" parameter was instead a high
resolution time --- without it, 60hz animations would look like either 58
or 62hz. E.g.:

requesAnimationFrame(function(frame0_time) {
   requestAnimationFrame(function(frame1_time) {
      displayRefreshRate = 1000 / frame1_time - frame0_time;
   };
});
