I'd love to see these constructors defined as well. I did a quick check of
DOM4, and didn't see definitions for the derived events that we have bugs on:
14050, 14051, 14052, 14053, 14054, 14055.

This is an interesting situation. I like event constructors, don't get me
wrong, but they are a "new" feature introduced by DOM4 (which has the algorithm
that describes how they work for the Event interface as well as any derived
interfaces, according to 4.4 Constructing events
(http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/domcore/raw-file/tip/Overview.html#constructing-events).

I'd prefer not to add them to DOM3 at this time. Anne, DOM4 seems to provide
the right hook to allow any derived Event interface that has a constructor to
be specified.

Do you think we need any follow-up action to account for UIEvent, MouseEvent,
KeyboardEvent, TextEvent, CompositionEvent constructors? For example, it might
be nice to note which of the "common" events have constructors?
