Re: detecting connection speed

One of the reasons ResourceTiming v1 didn't expose bytes transferred was 
due to cross-origin security concerns, eg. detecting if a user had 
already downloaded a known image from a separate site mybank.com.  I 
would assume that is still a security concern, and it may limit the 
usefulness for some of the use-cases presented if they involve other 
origins.

I hadn't seen cross-origin limitations brought up, so I wanted to make 
sure everyone that was discussing this was aware of the issue.

Here's a thread from last year that discussed byte-size a bit:
