Re: Progress event spec

I suppose we could either let .total be null when the length is not known or indeed add a boolean attribute .lengthComputable or .knownLength. I prefer the former, but that's prolly only feasible in languages that allow mixed return types such as ECMAScript and Python. JCD: I understand your preference for "flexible type" languages, but we have to deal with Java/C/C++/... as well. The use case for indeterminate length and you want to have the end event is: you get a live recording. And I would want to know if it is the end or just progress. So I really think that removing postload, or at least the clear indication of an end, is a mistake. I think the "load" event should be used for this. JCD: the load event is for when the media element doing the loading is "installed" into the scene tree. That is very different from the time when the loading of the resource is finished. This could happen when xlink:href is modified dynamically, well after load has been sent for the media element. Or did I misunderstand you ?
