Comment:
"Call the Function. Use the third and subsequent method arguments (if any) as
the arguments for invoking the Function. Use method context proxy as the
thisArg for invoking the Function."  — we should instead stash away the
callback and use WebIDL's "invoke a callback" logic.

heycam, can you point me to the right place in WebIDL for this?
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-11-11 18:45:10 UTC 
Note to self: I need to change "In this step, invoke means to run the jump to a code entry-point algorithm." in the event handler section to call into WebIDL as well, in case someone sets an event handler to a non-script.

This is currently blocked on getting changes to ES6. See:

Comment 7 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2015-01-15 20:52:41 UTC 
I got tired of waiting for ES to be fixed, so I've updated event handlers to call Web IDL, and we'll fix the parsing of event handlers when ES catches up.
