RE: [requestAnimationFrame] Spec to LC?

Hello,

Yes, porting the test suite on the IE Test Center to our working group will be a great start.  I should be able to have it ready for review in the next few weeks.  Regarding the animationStartTime property, it was once in the spec and there still are mentions of it in section 4.2 as an Editorial note to add it back.  There haven't been any discussions on this in a while.  What is the thinking on it now?  Seems to me that if we want to have a high precision time as input to our callback that we should have a method for getting a similarly high precision time independently as well.

Thoughts?

James, Cameron,

Do you feel that the requestAnimationFrame spec is ready to move to Last Call? In today's working group conf call, we were discussing the status of all specifications and noticed that there are no remaining open issues on this particular spec.

The IE Test Center has a few requestAnimationFrame tests from a few months ago - http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/#perfPaintNotification. I am looking to update the tests to match the current spec status and submit them for the requestAnimationFrame test suite in the near future.

Hello,

I've resolved the remaining open issues and think going to Last Call is a great idea.  I'm also excited about having a test suite.  http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/#perfPaintNotification looks like a good start, but it seems a bit out of date (for example it tests for a animationStartTime property that has never existed in a W3C spec).
