HTMLMediaElement contains several attributes and on developing now for a while I have noticed that some useful attributes are missing:

- An attribute that contains the frames per second currently being displayed for a video. This could be useful for statistics and to see how well a video plays.

- An attribute to get  the current state of hardware acceleration. This would also be useful for statistics and help on troubleshooting if users experience performance issues.

This bug constitutes a request for a new feature of HTML. The current guidelines [1], rather than track such requests as bugs or issues, please create a proposal outlining the desired behavior, or at least a sketch of what is wanted (much of which is probably contained in this bug), and start the discussion/proposal in the WICG [2]. As your idea gains interest and momentum, it may be brought back into HTML through the Intent to Migrate process [3].
