RE: [HighResolutionTime2] Add DOMHighResTimeStamp to Event?

Looks like we have come full circle. If the DOM Core editor’s suggestion was to put it in this spec, let’s try that and see if it makes sense. I’ll make spec updates and share.

Thanks,

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?

Yes, back in Oct 2012 Anne van Kesteren argued it didn't belong in DOM core, but in the high res time spec: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2012OctDec/0028.html.  Perhaps his opinion will be different now - but it feels like we're going in circles here.

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
