Do setTimeout and setInterval belong in HTML 5? They're not really DOM related. They're supported by ActionScript, which doesn't have a DOM. AS supports the same signatures that HTML 5 does (plus another one). HTML 5 already says they're specific to Javascript/ECMAScript, so there's no need for other DOM implementations to support them.
I searched the ES5 final draft and didn't see a reference to them anywhere. Have they been considered for ECMAScript 5 or any version? I didn't find any discussion in the WHATWG archives. http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary646.html -- Jon Barnett
