            Bug ID: 27874
           Summary: Microtasks and callbacks run from a queued task
           Product: WebAppsWG
           Version: unspecified

There's a problem with how we are defining microtasks and callbacks run from a
queued task.

http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/3379

<!DOCTYPE html>
.<script>
 new MutationObserver(function() { w(2) }).observe(document.body,
{attributes:true})
 document.body.addEventListener("mousemove", function() {
   w(1)
   document.body.setAttribute("test", "x")
 })
 document.body.addEventListener("mousemove", function() {
   w(3)
 })
 document.body.dispatchEvent(new Event("mousemove"))
</script>

The dispatchEvent() method does not queue a task and therefore the order is 1,
3, 2. However, if you move the mouse around in the document the order is 1, 2,
3.

We are not capturing this at all.

Ian suggested IDL needs to invoke HTML's "clean up after running a callback"
from IDL's "Invoking callback functions" section. However, that will not do the
right thing as that would make the order 1, 2, 3 either way.
