Wouldn't that depend on the situation? With XMLHttpRequest for instance if  
the URI can't be parsed you'd get a SYNTAX_ERR and never arrive here. The  
error event is only thrown for network errors. (Similarly, the load event  
is dispatched if everything went ok.) I think you do want at least one  
loadstart and progress event before that event though.
