I have a few questions on the initiator types: INITIATOR_AUDIO INITIATOR_VIDEO These ones are a little tricky to time. They don't necessarily load like other resources. Sometimes they're never-ending streams. Sometimes they're only partially loaded (user skips ahead). And sometimes they're only loaded lazily when the user hits play. I could imagine a situation where we had to open multiple connections too, which would make some of the timing attributes ambiguous. What are we supposed to do in these cases? It's possible that Resource Timing isn't sufficient for describing these elements. Maybe they should have they're own class of entries on the Performance Timeline. INITIATOR_SVG This one says it's used if "the initiator is the <svg> element," but there's no way for the <svg> element to load something. Should this instead read "elements in the SVG namespace?" That would pick up SVG's <script> or <font-face-uri> for instance. James
