RE: [frame-timing] Processing model proposal

Agreed. We can iterate.

Hmm. I think we may need to tweak the language a bit.. but I think the general shape ("write a new PerformanceRenderTiming event to the Performance timeline") is right.

FWIW, we landed the basic definition of PerfObserver in Performance Timeline, and I think the next step is to add a processing section that explicitly talks about when events are created and then delivered into appropriate buffers + observers. Once we have that, we'll have a hook that other specs can use to register events with the Performance Timeline... At least, that's how I'm picturing it at the moment. There is only the minor detail of writing it down.. :)

I am not opposed to that change...
What's a better way to specify it?
Just that the events get generated and leave where they go as an exercise for the reader?
Thanks,

It may make sense to remove the part about the event going to the performance timeline and leave that to definition by frame timing spec rather than pushing that bit into HTML spec. Previous discussions have leaned towards only exposing frame timing on Performance Observer.

Ilya/Michael, what do you think?

Great, thanks for following up on that.

It all sounds fine to WHATWG. If there is another browser vendor (non-Chrome) who wants to chime in with a +1 they'll go ahead and make the edits.

Thanks,

Reaching out seems like a good idea. Filing a bug is probably a good
course of action.

Monkey patching the event loop model seems like a bad idea. Though
that has not stopped people from doing it before.
