[1] It would probably be useful to define it in DOM3Events.

That section calls it a "simple event". Looking at the definition for simple event (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#fire-a-simple-event), it looks like it is (swapping out variables): "an event with the name [DOMContentLoade], <del>which does not bubble</del> (except where otherwise stated [it *is* stated]) and is not cancelable <del>(except where otherwise stated)</del>, and which uses the Event interface, must be created and dispatched at the given target [Document]." So this is just a regular Event, which is defined in DOM3 Events and DOM4. My conclusion is that this is a satisfactory definition of DOMContentLoaded. 65205 4 Ms2ger 2012-03-09 10:27:39 +0000 Agreed; thank you.
