--- Comment #18 from Philip Jägenstedt <philipj@opera.com> ---
It does add the risk things like onload="StartAnimation(event)" in SVG into the
mix.

If we assume that nothing about inline event handlers will change, what kind of
data do we need to move this along? To put it another way, what kind of
breakage is most likely if Gecko adds window.event and if Blink removes
window.event, respectively?

I'm still not sure about the connection between Window.event and
Event.srcElement, see comment #9. It sounds like IE-sniffing on the form
`'event' in window` or `window.event` (inside an event handler) are the main
concerns.
