'loadeddate' inconsistency from Eric Carlson on 2009-03-17 (public-html@w3.org from March 2009)

   The spec has two definitions of when to send the 'loadeddate'  
event. Setction 4.8.10.7 says loadeddata is sent the first time  
readyState is *equal to* HAVE_CURRENT_DATA:

     If the previous ready state was HAVE_METADATA and the new ready  
state is HAVE_CURRENT_DATA ...

but the entry for 'loadeddata' in the table in 4.8.10.13 says it is  
sent the first time readyState is HAVE_CURRENT_DATA *or greater*:

     readyState newly increased to HAVE_CURRENT_DATA  or greater for  
the first time

   I think the later definition makes more sense because it means the  
event will always be fired, even if ready state skips past  
HAVE_CURRENT_DATA.
