Unfortunately Frame Timing API has been completely changed.  I added two interfaces for the old Frame Timing API, but they are no longer valid.  We should remove them.

And I have no plan to implement Frame Timing API (bug 1158032) until we follow browser processing model[1].

'follow' might be somewhat misleading there.  I meant our implementation is slightly different from what the Frame Timing spec is supposed.  See fig.1 in the spec<https://w3c.github.io/frame-timing/#introduction>.
In my understanding our event loop spins independently from vsync driver.  So it will be hard to implement the Frame Timing API, especially the startTime of the API.
I did forget to reduce sValidTypeNames size...

Right.

Why is that difficult to implement. And if it is, have you filed a spec bug that FrameTiming relies on blink implementation details.
(it wouldn't be the first time WebPerf WG's specs rely on, or at least hint something about blink's implementation details.)
Blink does not yet implement the new Frame Timing API either. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=120796#c71.  I will check the implementation later.  Thanks.

Note, that figure isn't normative in any way. If, say some web-platform-tests rely on that behavior, they are just wrong and we can change them.

We never documented this old version of the spec. So I just added a comment there:
