should requestIdleCallback return unsigned long? #17

By this spec revision, idle callback identifier is only incremented and not be decremented at all, thus this value will not be a negative value. So I feel unsigned long in WebIDL is more suitable type for the return value of requestIdleCallback().

Seems reasonable. That said, with my 'spec hat' on I'd prefer that we stay consistent with requestAnimationFrame: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#window. Would you be willing to start a conversation on whatwg first to see if that can be updated?

tetsuharuohzeki commented 9 years ago

Hmm, okay, I'll file a new proposal issue which is about requestAnimationFrame to whatwg/html.

tetsuharuohzeki commented 9 years ago

By https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/97, requestAnimationFrame() returns unsigned long now in whatwg/html.

Awesome, thanks for the quick turnaround! @rmcilroy any objections?
