Sure, but when creating known types it can no longer be assumed that an event type maps to a single set of bubbles/cancelable flags, which was always the case until now. This may only be an implementation issue, but if other implementors also see this as a nuisance it might be worth changing. > Unfortunately XHR has had 'error' for ages.

Would anyone happen to know which browsers implement this and if that event bubbles? -- Philip Jägenstedt Opera Software
