RE: [Resource Timing] Spec feedback

I agree.  Firing the callback onresourcetimingbufferful immediately after adding a resource which puts the buffer at capacity makes sense.  It gives the developer (potentially) time to react proactively.

  *   This should be more tightly defined: "The callback onresourcetimingbufferfull is called immediately after a resource is added to the buffer if the buffer size now equals the capacity." Or something along those lines.
  *   It's not immediately clear from reading the text, but I think the intent is that this only fires once when the buffer becomes full and not for every resource loaded after that. We shouldn't spam developers with events if they don't care about Resource Timing.
Sorry to revive this thread. What was the verdict on these points? The spec looks unchanged to me. It's still not clear exactly when and how often to fire the event.

My opinion is the same: I think it should be fired once immediately after the buffer becomes full.
