FWIW, in the dictionary you do not need to define a default value, at
least not as far as events are concerned. For events you need to
define a default value in prose (because of document.createEvent()).
It needs to be neither nullable nor have a default value. For the
interface my suggestion was indeed to use the empty string for the
reason you state.
