For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Yeah, I could see a use case for firing a load event with regular plugins. At this point though I'd rather not add more features; I think we should wait for what is specced already to be tested and implemented interoperably. This isn't a critical feature since you can already do it fine with <object>. 82052 7 mike 2013-01-24 07:22:21 +0000 This bug was cloned to create HTML WG bug 19033. 84664 8 ian 2013-03-19 22:38:14 +0000 Would fixing bug 16136 make this moot? 86824 9 ian 2013-04-25 22:27:11 +0000 I'm just going to let this happen automatically as part of bug 16136. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 16136 ***
