From Olli Pettay in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2008JulSep/0260.html:

[[
IMO CustomEvent should have also initCustomEvent(), not only initCustomEventNS().
Having only initCustomEventNS doesn't prevent anyone to create events with null
namespace and it is just annoying if initCustomEvent isn't there.

Similar with MouseWheelEvent, it has only initMouseWheelEventNS, but should have also initMouseWheelEvent.


WheelEvent should also have non-NS initialization method.
