[DOMCore] argument name "interface" in Document.createEvent()

The Document.createEvent() method is specified with an argument named 
"interface". When mechanically translated into JavaScript, this causes a 
syntax error, since "interface" is a reserved word in JavaScript.  (And 
presumably in WebIDL, as well).

How about changing it to eventInterfaceName?
