I think that just as the names 'load*' were chosen for generic data
transfer events (either networked or within a document), and are used
within documents loaded in the DOM, XHR, and FileReader, we'll need
reusable 'write*' events. Without bikeshedding too much, I like your
proposal above, but wonder whether we should use the name 'write*' or
something else. Since we already have document.write, 'write' is
probably the most vetted string to use here :)
For what it's worth, for XMLHttpRequest "sending" events (which are
arguably somewhat like write) we still use loadstart/... and simply
dispatch them on a distinct object. I've no idea what the file writer API
will look like, but I can imagine we might be able to do the same there.
