Curious about a possible addition to the scope of what logging covers. Does anything in the spec capture when a page load crashes the browser tab or causes it to be unresponsive? We ran into an obscure situation that we hadn’t tested for and managed to get a UA to crash, looks like it was related to a style recalculation. 

Could we/should we log an error entry on the page/domain when the UA crashes/freezes, so we can see at scale that something we released is increased the crash/freeze rate for the global user base?

Thoughts?

Aaron
