I hate sounding like a broken record, but this is still assuming a model in which "TCP" comes after "DNS" and "DNS" comes after "Prompt for Unload". In actual browsers, "DNS" can happen when the user hovers over the link that they will click to leave the page (before "Prompt for unload") and "TCP" can start before "DNS" completes due to speculative preconnects.... As a result, a browser implementing this specification right now has the choice of either not following the spec or reporting numbers that don't reflect what it actually did. In practice I believe at least Gecko ends up doing a mix of the two depending on where people remembered to put in random max() or min() calls; I can't speak to other browsers. -Boris
