Since we are no longer using progress events for media elements we don't
have the external requirement that abort/error shouldn't bubble. I'd
like them to bubble, because:
1. error events fired on <source> will bubble to <video>, which is quite
useful if one doesn't particularly care which source failed (one need
not register an event handler on each individual source attribute)
2. Implementors don't have to deal with the possibility that events of
the same name and type sometimes bubbles and sometimes not.
3. It's the same as for <img>, which all else equals seems nice and
simple.
I'll note that <video> abort/error events in Firefox already seems to
bubble while they apparently don't in Safari. We'd like to align with
Firefox and have the spec changed.
It looks like I was wrong. As far as I can see error/abort doesn't bubble
in any other scenario and it seemed to be that way in Firefox because the
error event is fired on the <video> element, or something. No spec change
needed.
