Sure, but my current approach to ISSUE-106 is that it never has to fire.
Other
specs therefore *may* define when they think it should fire. Otherwise user
agents can just fire it as they please during asynchronous network
operations.
IMHO authors should never rely on it firing, primarily because if they do
then
they break backpat for no particularly good reason that I can see. So
specs *should
not* say it *must* fire...
* "The user agent may dispatch a progress event while an asynchronous
network opertation such as a load event is taking place." doesn't make
much sense to me.
apart from the typo, and changing "load event" (which I meant there in the
everyday sense of 'occurrence' but which is probably really confusing) to
"load
operation", is there anything you can suggest to make it clearer?
* "These events should not bubble, and can be canceled." -> "Theseevents
must not bubble and most be cancelable."
must be cancelable - agreed. Not sure that we should be upset if some user
agent
does allow them to bubble, although since they should not authors relying
on it
are a bit mad. Anyone else want to throw their weight behind must not
bubble?
* I think initProgressEvent and initProgressEventNS should just defer to
initEvent and initEventNS for details on multiple invocations (in case
that changes at some point).
I think once we put the spec out, making this particular part depend on
something that might change later doesn't help interoperability, so I would
prefer we define what happens here and stick with it. But I am not
particularly
wedded to that. I've raised ISSUE-111.
* What seems to be missing is a normative reference to DOM Level 3Events.
* The [IEoP] is never referenced. Either reference it or drop the
reference.
Indeed. The reference section is on the To Do list...
