+    <description summary="commit timing">
+      When a compositor latches on to new content updates it will check for
+      any number of requirements of the available content updates (such as
+      fences of all buffers being signalled) to consider the update ready.
+
+      This protocol provides a method for adding a time constraint to surface
+      content. This constraint indicates to the compositor that a content
+      update should be presented as closely as possible to, but not before,
+      a specified time.
+
+      This protocol does not change the Wayland property that content
+      updates are applied in the order they are received, even when some
+      content updates contain timestamps and others do not.
+
+      To provide timestamps, this global factory interface must be used to
+      acquire a wp_commit_timing_v1 object for a surface, which may then be
+      used to provide timestamp information for commits.
+
+      Warning! The protocol described in this file is currently in the testing
+      phase. Backward compatible changes may be added together with the
+      corresponding interface version bump. Backward incompatible changes can
+      only be done by creating a new major version of the extension.
