[webkit-dev] High Resolution Timer API proposal(s)

[Alex Iskander]

I agree. "Repeating", it seems to me, should be an optional argument;  
the callback and time, on the other hand, are completely necessary.

The default value for "repeating" is probably up for debate. Would  
more web developers use it for repitition, or for single-use? For high  
resolution purposes (the original purpose of the proposed API), it  
seems more likely to be one use only.
