Re: [JSPreflight] An alternate approach

Hi Andy,

Unfortunately, you're probably seeing some of the cruft of the now
year-old proposal.  To some of your questions:

Guypo mentioned using Browser Hints, which is much more well-thought-out
in terms of syntax.  I'd defer to that in terms of what the best delimiter
would be.

I agree about Resource Timing, which leads me to...

The POST response was intended specifically to handle Resource Timing.
That being said, if we were to leverage the Beacon API, it offers multiple
verbs for sending back data (GET, POST, PUT).  Of course, if we're looking
at sending back the entire Performance Timeline (which includes Navigation
Timing 2, Resource Timing, and User Timing), POST might be our only option
simply due to the large amount of data.
