Description Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2012-04-24 23:44:34 UTC
As discussed here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2012AprJun/0295.html

The spec has several legacy places where it forbids dispatching trusted events. These need to be corrected in order to align with DOM4:
Comment 1 Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2012-04-24 23:51:07 UTC
3.6 - NotSupportedError, last sentence

initEvent definition -- appies to more than just events created with "createEvent"

dispatchEvent's Exception list.
Comment 2 Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2012-04-27 23:56:20 UTC
Fixed in latest version.
Comment 3 Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2012-04-27 23:56:52 UTC
As the opener, I approve :-)
