Re: [Web Timing] Interface names

Sorry I was unable to join the call yesterday. Did this get resolved? Should
be a detail that is easy to close the loop on.

I like the idea of using Performance to scope the sub interfaces like you
did in the IE implementation.

What about Performance (window.performance), PerformanceNavigation
(window.performance.navigation) and PerformanceTiming
(window.performance.timing)?
