So it should be a mechanism for doing retries. I.e. the timeout means > "the data is useless after this point", not "need to try something else after this point". I see. I misunderstood the timeout as a means to retry on the developer side. I think it's fair to allow a timeout argument after which the user agent will not try to resend. This is of course assuming user agents will continue to retry for such a duration. The spec currently doesn't define or recommend how often the user agent should retry. I'll propose some recommendation language here. Thanks, Jatinder
