For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: The term "fire a scroll event" isn't used in the HTML standard. There's no dependency here, you can implement onscroll completely independently of whether it ever gets fired by anything, and you can fire it independently of whether there's an event handler attribute.
