Is the event fired inside the task or outside?) I think the former interpretation is usually intended, but I'm also pretty sure that the latter is sometimes intended (e.g., when "do Y" = "abort these steps" or when it queues another task). To clarify, you could use a well-placed "first": queue a task to first do X. and then do Y vs first queue a task to do X, and then do Y 88948 1 ian 2013-06-07 23:37:02 +0000 I can fix specific cases if you list them, but I'm not sure how to efficiently find these. 88949 2 contributor 2013-06-07 23:39:13 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r7943.
