Comment:
What is the resolution of the attributes? Should the amount of seconds be
expressed as an integer or a float, and in the latter case, with what
precision?

Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The attributes are floats, and the values expressed for, for instance, duration, should be the duration. If that&apos;s 29.25497s, then that would be the value returned. The only way the spec allows rounding is via the &quot;hardware limitations&quot; clause, but beyond that I don&apos;t see anything that would allow the browser to round off the value or anything... could you elaborate on what text exactly you&apos;d like to see in the spec to clarify this sufficiently?</thetext>
