           Summary: Initial about:blank should fire DOMFrameContentLoaded
                    and load events when not navigated immediately
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

When the creation of a browsing context doesn't start a navigation to another
URL, the DOMFrameContentLoaded and load events should fire (asynchronously) for
the initial about:blank document.

Failing to fire these events broke enough test cases and deviates from current
browser practice so that I didn't bother to gather evidence about breaking the
Web, but it seems reasonable to expect the failure to fire these events to
break the Web.
