--- Comment #1 from Aaron Colwell <acolwell@chromium.org> ---
As mentioned on the call today, I have a few concerns about adding this to the
MSE spec.

- This feels like scope creep. I don't want MSE to start including a variety of
media related things that didn't make it into HTML 5.

- Implementing MSE does not require these metrics. Some web applications that
use MSE may benefit from them, but MSE is still useful without them. I'd prefer
to keep the MSE spec focused on the minimal set of extensions needed to
implement the media buffering & splicing functionality.

- It seems like this should be pursued in the broader metrics proposal &
discussion that Adrian linked to. Perhaps a metrics extension spec could be
created or this could be added to HTML 5.1. In either case it seems like the
old discussions should be revived.

- There may be stakeholders that care about these metrics and others, but have
no interest in implementing MSE. What is the spec compliance story for them?
Why is it better to do this in the MSE/Media TF context instead of the standard
HTML-WG one?

I do think that metrics like these are useful. I just don't think the MSE spec
is the right home for their definition.
