It doesn't say to create the event first, so it's reasonable to assume that this is a pre-existing event. It doesn't say how to determine which preexisting event to use. It should just say that an event is to be created, and that event is to be dispatched, or some such. 96589 1 annevk 2013-11-20 14:19:54 +0000 So instead of "an event" you want that to say "a new event"? I guess that's fair. 96590 2 annevk 2013-11-20 14:23:50 +0000 https://github.com/whatwg/dom/commit/041f23c41d2f04723dde7b6c23adebb6cf24aa59
