Closing the loop on this one. The new text says:

[[
This interface does not include an attribute to represent the completion
of sending the request, e.g., requestEnd.

      * Completion of sending the request from the user agent does not
        always indicate the corresponding completion time in the network
        transport, which brings most of the benefit of having such an
        attribute.
      * Some user agents have high cost to determine the actual
        completion time of sending the request due to the HTTP layer
        encapsulation.
]]

So, in other words, it is implementation dependent. Correct?
