Description Rainer Schuster 2015-01-01 13:19:53 UTC 
Instead of 

partial interface KeyboardEvent : UIEvent {

the following should be used

partial interface KeyboardEvent {

because partial interfaces are not allowed to specify inheritance.
Comment 1 Olli Pettay 2015-01-01 15:43:04 UTC 
Well KeyboardEvent should just inherit UIEvent, no need for 'partial' there.

Note that KeyboardEvent is also specified in http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#interface-KeyboardEvent
so IMHO it would make sense to just cut the inheritance " : UIEvent". BTW no information would be lost since the inheritance is already specified to inherit from UIEvent in the DOM Level 3 Events specification.
