Looks great apart from needing to remove the init function as Anne points out.

You don't need to state "and allowed to bubble", all events dispatched
by this algorithm bubble as per step 3.

I agree with Anne, this language is confusing. Dispatch of the onerror
handler is handled by the HTML5 so I'm not sure we need to say
anything here.

Per [1] you should change 'canBubble' to 'bubbles'.
