Re: [dom] Should EventInit contain 'timestamp'? (#76)

Thanks.  In addition to copying the timestamp from other events, there are at least some small scenarios where you really want to synthesize a timestamp.  Eg. Android and now iOS 9 align input to vsync through position/time interpolation.  It's reasonable for a library to want to do something similar taking, say, a 100hz input event source and converting it to a 60hz one phase-locked to `requestAnimationFrame`.  Doing that requires generating events with `timestamp` values that are interpolated (or perhaps even extrapolated) from the `timestamp`s of other events.

But I think we can wait until we've done the spec updates for #80 to decide exactly what we want to do here.
