Glenn, isTrusted is the indicator that helps the web developer distinguish between an event fired by the UA, or one fired by JavaScript (e.g., dispatchEvent).

It should be possible to re-dispatch events. But if a script running on a web page dispatches event, the event must become untrusted. What's the point of isTrusted, anyway? You have to trust other scripts running in the same page anyway. Does it come into play with cross-origin iframes or something? -- Glenn Maynard
