[whatwg] DOMTimeStamp in W3C Core 3
I was recently tripped up by a difference between published the W3C DOM Level 3 Core TR and standard practice. The issue is that the TR states that DOMTimeStamp should be bound to a Date object in ECMAScript ( http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#Core-DOMTimeStamp ). But in practice, most existing implementations bind DOMTimeStamp to a Number. This was observed on what-wg before: http://www.mail-archive.com/whatwg@lists.whatwg.org/msg13626.html And there is an intention to change the DOM Core 3 so that DOMTimeStamp be bound to a number for ECMAScript: http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#changes-DOMLevel2to3Changes Event.timeStamp is now a Number in the ECMAScript binding; a proposed correction to make the same change in [DOM3 Core] is forthcoming. and an action here: http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/417 Can anybody hazard a guess as to when the DOM Level 3 TR might be updated with this change? Many thanks John

Many thanks, Anne. Do you know where i can find the WebIDL spec that mentions DOMTimeStamp? I couldn't find a reference to it in http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-WebIDL-20101021/ .
