RE: [XBL] Editorial: suggestion for section 3.4 regarding xbl-bound event

The new chapter is great! Thanks for adding that; it's a big help. Thanks
also for adding the sentence about the event being fired.

I've added a chapter at the end of the spec that summarises the elements, 
attributes, and events defined in the spec.
