In Chrome we adhere to a maximum length of 99 entries, and a maximum total duration of 10 seconds. Firefox has a configurable maximum length, defaulting to 128 entries, and a maximum duration of 10 seconds, which is configurable as well. One completely unimportant use case I can imagine is using a device's vibrator to "play a song". Remember those awesome buzz-tones from the late 90s? :-). > 2) Future proposals to indicate the *intensity* of vibration. > > Intensity control would be nice. > Which platforms would support setting the vibration's intensity? The Android APIs do not, and vibrations on iOS are initiated through their audio system, which don't support intensity either. This can easily be worked around by the developer by vibrating [25, 10, 25, 10, 25] instead of [95]. Peter
