Per bug 21068, event.isTrusted is now [Unforgeable], so the 'isTrusted' property is now own and not inherited. One question which answer is not fully clear to me is: should there be one getter per event instance or one getter shared by all event instances? A way to not have to answer this question is just to make [Unforgeable] attributes data properties instead of getters.
Also, if all attributes that are unforgeable are readonly (and it looks like it) maybe we should support this is unforgeable attribute ...; instead?

First line of the definition of [Unforgeable]: "If the [Unforgeable] extended attribute appears on a read only attribute...", so I guess it means it can only happen to read only attributes... The only places I know of unforgeable properties are: * http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/browsers.html#the-window-object * http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dom.html#document * and now event.isTrusted And indeed, it only applies to readonly. So it probably is a nice refactoring.
In Gecko's implementation there is a separate getter per object instance for unforgeable attributes. Making this a data property is not an option, imo: it needs to be non-configurable and readonly but the boolean returned can change.
Ah yeah, the value of isTrusted can change over time. (I should probably learn about data properties at some point.)

I think this particular section will tell you all you need to know: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/defineProperty#Description (I plan to move the property descriptor material to its own page eventually instead of having it explained in Object.defineProperty)
Put a trusted event object in a variable and then dispatch it. isTrusted will have changed per http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-eventtarget-dispatchevent for hopefully obvious reasons.
