Re: [webcomponents] Changes to Dispatching Events (#274)

Looked around the current spec.

* Most events are not simply mentioned in other than [Index - Events](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/indices.html#events-2), which says "Fired".
* Others refer to [Firing a simple event named *e*](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webappapis.html#fire-a-simple-event)

and "a simple event" implies "a trusted event" according to the current definition:

> Firing a simple event named e means that a trusted event with the name e, which does not bubble (except where otherwise stated) and is not cancelable (except where otherwise stated), and which uses the Event interface, must be created and dispatched at the given target.

So changing s/a trusted event/a trusted and scoped event/ seem to cover all what you need. Is this satisfactory?
