A time in milliseconds is not a rate. It's an interval. Rates are in Hertz (or
some other unit with dimension [1/T]). The proposal doesn't say what the return
value is other than to say it must be a rate and must be in milliseconds, which
is self-contradictory and leaves the reader wondering what the number means:
the complete period, a half period, the time the caret is on, the time the
caret is off, the frequency? It's simply not defined well enough to be
interoperably implementable.

Which negative number? We can't leave things undefined. It's not 1995 any more.
(Also, how can the OS not have a blink rate? Do you have an example of such an
OS?)
