I tested IE7b2, Opera 8.5, Firefox 20060217, and WebKit 417.9.2 with:

   <!DOCTYPE html><body onload="alert(event.timeStamp)">

IE doesn't have timeStamp (undefined).

Opera and Firefox returned 0.

Safari returned milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

I propose we define DOMTimeStamp in ECMAScript as being a Number giving 
the number of milliseconds, excluding those in leap seconds, since 
1970-01-01T00:00:00.0Z.
