Hi Rob,

I think you need to specify which clock this timestamp must be in.

Which epoch? Sounds a bit like CLOCK_REALTIME to me which would not
make sense.

Also I cannot guess how a compositor should be using this, so
explaining the expected usage would be really good, with reasons for
why should userspace bother.


Thanks,
