RE: [HighResolutionTime2] Add DOMHighResTimeStamp to Event?

Hi Rick,

We are actively working on the High Resolution Time L2 spec [1] and this is something we could add there. However, seeing that the High Resolution Time spec just defines the DOMHighResTimeStamp, and any spec can take that definition and use it, it may be more appropriate to specify the Event behavior in the DOM Core spec [2]. High Resolution Time L1 is a W3C Recommendation [3] so others specs probably won’t mind referencing it. Have you talked to the DOM Core editors to see if they will make this change?

Thanks,
Jatinder

Subject: [HighResolutionTime2] Add DOMHighResTimeStamp to Event?

Hi,
Last October there was some agreement [1] that Event should expose a DOMHighResTimeStamp, and that it belongs in the HighResolutionTime v2 spec.  We removed [2] the hwTimestamp property from the PointerEvent specification [3] in preference for this more general mechanism.

Any update on adding this to the HighResolutionTime2 spec?

Thanks,
   Rick
