Do setTimeout and setInterval belong in HTML 5? They're not really DOM related. They're supported by ActionScript, which doesn't have a DOM. AS supports the same signatures that HTML 5 does (plus another one). HTML 5 already says they're specific to Javascript/ECMAScript, so there's no need for other DOM implementations to support them.<br>
<br>I searched the ES5 final draft and didn't see a reference to them anywhere. Have they been considered for ECMAScript 5 or any version?<br><br>I didn't find any discussion in the WHATWG archives.<br><br><a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary646.html">http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary646.html</a><br clear="all">
