I think so. http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Howto_spec#Legacy_DOM-style
explains some of the problems.

The current note does not seem at all clear about how this will
actually be implemented. Explaining that would be more interesting I
think than handwaving the issue.


I just noticed your specification has the same issue as the Ambient
thingie. You're not defining default values for the event interface
members. (new UserProximityEvent("haha")).near is undefined. I suggest
adding that to the testsuite. (It's one of the basic things to cover
when testing event constructors.)
