Description Rainer Schuster 2014-12-27 19:53:46 UTC 
The specification states

partial dictionary MouseEventInit {
    attribute long movementX = 0;
    attribute long movementY = 0;
};

but it should be without the "attribute" keyword

partial dictionary MouseEventInit {
    long movementX = 0;
    long movementY = 0;
};

Because MouseEvent is an interface and MouseEventInit isn't. (It's a dictionary.)
