DOM4 and Progress Event

The Web Applications Working Group is trying to move the Progress Event
specification to Proposed Recommendation. During the transition call, it
was noted that Progress Event relies on DOM Events, including the event
init mechanism introduced in DOM4.

The implementation report of Progress Event [1] establishes that there
are 3 implementations of the event init mechanism already (two might
originate from the same code however).

Since most of section 5 of DOM Events finds its origin in the previous
DOM specifications and there is some implementation of the event init
mechanism, does the HTML Working Group believe that section 5 of the DOM
specification is stable enough that changes to that section won't impact
comformant implementations of Progress Event? A positive answer would
allow the Progress Event specification to move forward.

Thank you,

Philippe
