    <thetext>[[
If eventInterfaceName is not an ASCII case-insensitive match for &quot;event&quot; or for the name of an interface that inherits from the Event interface and is supported by the user agent, throw a &quot;NotSupportedError&quot; and terminate these steps.
]]

Supporting interfaces that don&apos;t have init*Event seems useless. I think the spec should have a fixed list of supported interface strings (which would be the same as the interfaces that have init*Event), and let new interfaces throw NotSupportedError.</thetext>

    <thetext>Any others than Event, UIEvent, and MouseEvent? We could keep listing MutationEvent but it should go away, right?</thetext>

    <thetext>MutationEvent and MutationNameEvent, yeah, I guess, until it&apos;s clear that we can drop them.</thetext>

&gt; MutationEvent and MutationNameEvent, 

Except not MutationNameEvent since nobody seems to support it.</thetext>
