why can't the frame number be requested? It's video, position is expressed in frames, not in seconds. a frames per second value could easily convert this to seconds

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: no change
Rationale: This is something we should add in due course, yes. At this time, however, I'm wary of adding new features until the browsers have caught up with what the spec already specifies.

Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-03-19 17:36:55 UTC 
Are there any implementors interested in exposing versions of currentTime, fastSeek(), duration, and the TimeRanges accessors, in frames, for video data?
