The draft defines that the pre-defined event types are in no namespace,
so yes, in order to properly initialize an event object you would pass
null. However, this has nothing to do with the definition of the method,
making the change you suggested would be similar to defining the create-
ElementNS method like so:
...
namespaceURI
...
* must be 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' for SVG elements
* must be 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' for XHTML elements
* ...
It would just be an incomplete and possibly confusing re-iteration of
facts that follow directly from the definitions in the specifications.
You also didn't ask that the typeArg parameter's definition notes that
it must be one of the pre-defined event type's local name.
