Yes, on top of.  startTime is defined in terms of renderTime which is now 
defined in terms of paint/presentation times.

So this just exposes the individual values that were already used for the 
calculations.


Thank you! exposing those on top of the current attributes means that 
there's no real compat risk here. Firefox being supportive significantly 
reduces interop risk.

I should know this but do I understand correctly and this is adding 
`paintTime` and `presentationTime` *on top* of existing attributes such as 
`renderTime`/`startTime`/etc?

*Explainer*
https://github.com/w3c/paint-timing/blob/main/presentation-timestamps.md

*Specification*
https://w3c.github.io/paint-timing/#painttimingmixin 

*Summary*
Expose "paintTime" and "presentationTime" in element timing, LCP, long 
animation frames, and paint timing. "paintTime" means the time when the 
rendering phase ended and the browser started the paint phase. 
"presentationTime" means the time when the "pixels reached the screen", 
which is somewhat implementation-defined. This feature entry omits event 
timing, which would be done separately.

*Web Feature ID*
performancetiming <https://webstatus.dev/features/performancetiming> 

*Motivation*
So far the spec defined the paint time as the time after the "rendering 
update", when the document hands over rendering to the UA. However, in 
chromium the exposed paint time (in event timing, element timing, LCP and 
paint-timing) was different - the approximated VSync time from the 
compositor, which is important in terms of UX. This created confusion and 
incompatibility This proposal defines both these timestamps, and exposes 
them in an identical way in all the relevant entries.

*Anticipated spec changes*

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or 
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues 
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may 
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of 
the API in a non-backward-compatible way). 
None. This is already part of interop 2025. Note that the TAG review was 
delayed because some things in the explainer were missing initially.
