Exposing would be very useful to web application developers.
Just to add some use cases.
The Ruby on Rails framework automatically sets a header called
"X-Runtime" to the number of milliseconds it took to render the body.
Its pretty handily to get this value in JS and do a window.performance
stats comparison against the backend render time.
Today, you have to inject this stat into the footer of the html to
expose it to JS.
Well. The best way to fix *that* would be to use trailers (which would
need UA changes as well). Using trailers, the server wouldn't need to
buffer the response body just to be able to tell how long it took to
generate it...
