And because as far as I know every UA which lowered the clamp from 10ms lowered both timeouts and intervals. 48401 3 ian 2011-05-10 03:45:13 +0000 Interesting. I'm pretty sure when I was speccing this that only the timeout clamp had been lowered in the UAs that lowered the clamp. I'll have to investigate closer. 48402 4 bzbarsky 2011-05-10 04:14:34 +0000 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=522433 seems to show me the 4ms clamp in Firefox current, IE9, Chrome current. 52287 5 ian 2011-08-03 23:54:10 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
