Ikivo have told me that they also implemented already with the
existing event names, and would write to say so.
I am therefore resolving this issue by not changing the names.
I don't think the JSR objection is very strong, since JSR-280 says:
"Note – Note that MouseWheelEvent and ProgressEvent are newly included
in the W3C DOM3 draft specification and have not yet gone through the
W3C public review. These W3C specifications are therefore to
beconsidered as work in progress. There may be some modifications to
these event types in the JSR280 Maintenance Release to ensure
alignment with the DOM3 Event types."
In general I don't think we want to set a precedent of locking in bad
names in Editor's Drafts without a compelling reason. An
implementation alone is not much reason, there would have to be
significant content depending on it.

Hi,
To the question in ISSUE-119 whether "[...] they already get
implemented
with these names somewhere?", the answer would yes given that the
Final
Release of "JSR-280 XML API" (http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?
id=280)
defines the following methods based on the already existing names:
|boolean| |*getLengthComputable
<cid:[email protected]>*()|
Specifies whether the total size of the transfer is known.
| int| |*getLoaded <cid:[email protected]>*()|
Specifies the number of bytes downloaded since the beginning
of the download.
| int| |*getTotal <cid:[email protected]>*()|
Specifies the expected total number of bytes of the content
transferred in the operation.

Anne opined, a while ago, that these two attributes should have
names
more closely related. In my request for further information, nobody
said they had any great reason for keeping the current names.
I therefore propose to resolve this issue by changing the name
"lengthComputable" to "totalKnown". Any objections?
