           Summary: WebKit should use a rational time value internally.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Elements
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jer.noble at apple.com


When representing time as a float, sub-millisecond precision becomes unreliable after only a short amount of time.  WebKit should instead use a rational time type (integer time / integer time base) to represent time values.  These would need to be converted to/from double precision values when exposed to JavaScript, but all internal calculations could be done without losing precision.
