<http://www.whatwg.org/html/#the-end> step 7.2 has

> If the Document is in a browsing context, fire a simple event

> set to the Document object (and the currentTarget set to the
> Window object).

This would mean having to fix up the target somewhere in the middle of <http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-event-dispatch>. We should make the algorithm support this use case instead.
