This is because of compatibility reason? 103221 4 bugs 2014-04-01 10:59:51 +0000 At least for load event the behavior must be the one spec'ed. I tried to fix it to behave normally 2006, but it was too late already then. Web pages relied on the behavior. I don't dare to change the very commonly used unload event either in Gecko. 105251 5 contributor 2014-05-06 22:16:30 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r8609.
