RE: test_timing_attributes_order

Yes, the technical aspect of the fix makes sense.  I guess it wasn't clear who's action item it was.  Would you mind making the edit after Jatinder uploads my other fixes?

Thanks

Yes, this is because it's assuming things that it shouldn't be assuming;
in particular it assumes that the firing of the onload event of <iframe>
happens async after the firing of the onload event of the window inside
the iframe, which is not required by this spec.  As in, the test is
broken.  I've raised that on this list in the past.

For what it's worth, fixing the test should be pretty easy: just don't
read loadEventEnd synchronously from onload; do it off a timeout instead.

I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear in
