[whatwg] Media elements statistics

[Mark Watson]

All,

I added some material to the wiki page based on our experience here at Netflix and based on the metrics defined in MPEG DASH for adaptive streaming. I'd love to here what people think.

Statistics about presentation/rendering seem to be covered, but what should also be considered are network performance statistics, which become increasingly difficult to collect from the server when sessions are making use of multiple servers, possibly across multiple CDNs.

Another aspect important for performance management is error reporting. Some thoughts on that on the page.
