Description:
We need to decide whether HTML5 or DOM3 Events (or another spec) defines how events interact with the Window object that browsers have.

Right now HTML5 says this:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#events0
...and DOM3 Events says this:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html#events-Events-flow
