This is particularly relevant to situations in which the event is _about_ to occur and the UA wants to notify scripts of this. While it can only guess at when the event will really occur (since the scripts could take a while), that still seems more useful than reporting some time in the past that has nothing to do with the event in question. We (Mozilla) actually ran into this with MozBeforePaint events. For now we're having the timeStamp on those represent the time when the paint is conceptually happening (i.e. the sampling time that will be used for animations when the paint happens). -Boris
