Discussions with several browser developers suggest exporting a flattened data structure containing all the DOMTiming objects on the page. Doing so allows site developers to send the all the timing information back for analysis without travelling the entire DOM tree. It helps minimize the observer effect of the client side instrumentations. The current proposal is to add an additional interface to the WebTiming<http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebTiming/>draft that exports this block of timing data, including the url, type and probably id associated with each DOMTiming object. The implementation details are mostly left to UAs at this time. Another question is should this flattened data contain only DOMTiming objects currently in the DOM or all those ever exist since the page starts. My preference is the first case but it's up to debate. I imagine this to be a rather significant change in terms of UA implementations so I would like to bring this up for discussion. cheers, Zhiheng
