Re: [spec-reviews] Create a document to explain web platform async timing entry-points (#100)

I'm a little unclear on the scope here. Maybe the minutes would make it clearer?

> describes where the timings should happen in relation to other implementation details (layout, painting), and applies fixes for known issues (as noted by @dbaron) with HTML5 task queue description.

This sounds like it would be best done not as a separate document but as a pull request to modify https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#processing-model-8.

This might be a worthwhile guidance document explaining when and how specs should use HTML's algorithms to perform their work.

> perhaps the need for a better developer-facing way to prioritize tasks.

There are actually some discussions on this happening right now between myself and the Angular team. We hope to send a proposal as an issue on whatwg/html shortly (next few days probably). Stay tuned!
