<bryan> I agree, it would be preferable to have primitives rather than overload the UA with a potentially complex set of decisions on request timing. Javascript can provide the platform upon which we address 99% of the desired functionality, once we have some limited, but effective, primitives. I brought back the earlier discussion on deferring such decisions to the UA simply as one idea to overcome the roadblocks we had encountered so far - but only a fallback idea.
