The problem is that the HTML5 spec refers to DOM3 Events spec [1], which
defines *no* initialization dictionary types whatsoever.

[1] [1] http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html

This is not a bug in DOM-3 Events.

If HTML5 is going to depend on initialization dictionaries, then it must refer
to DOM-4 [2] Events instead of DOM-3 Events.

Alternatively, all references to initialization dictionaries should be removed
from HTML5 if the DOM-3 Events reference is to stand.
