Could we actually just say that if document implements
DocumentView interface and .defaultView isn't null and implements
EventTarget, the event propagates to .defaultView. So in that case
defaultView becomes the root of the event target chain (if the
target of the event is bound to document). No need to mention
Window, since AbstractView is already defined in DOM2 Views[1].
HTML5 defines that AbstractView must also implement Window and
EventTarget interfaces. [2]
Fine by me, so long as the result is compatible with most UAs.
One very unfortunate thing is that if i recall correctly the Window
object never takes part in the EventTarget chain for the 'load'
event. But does for all other events. This was because a lot of
sites broke when we tried to bubble 'load' to the Window.
I think it is best to special-case the 'load' event. We have this same
quirk in WebKit.
