Description

Currently, the Element Timing API exposes only two of the attributes from Resource Timing: responseEnd and name. For images, it seems useful to instead provide a direct link to the Resource Timing entry corresponding to the element. For text, we will not be able to provide this at first, and in fact text elements may not correspond to any Resource Timing entry. But overall it seems useful to provide a pointer to RT from ET.

This issue is filed based on the discussion at https://github.com/w3c/user-timing/issues/17.

Research direction

Start with the Element Timing issue body and the linked w3c/user-timing discussion. Define how an Element Timing entry should point to its corresponding Resource Timing entry for images, and document the behavior for text elements that have no such entry. Done means the proposal resolves these cases clearly in the specification.
