Starting from HTML5, section 8.2.6
(http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-end), I see the definition of
an event type named "DOMContentLoaded". That section calls it a "simple event".

Looking at the definition for simple event
(http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#fire-a-simple-event), it looks like
it is (swapping out variables):

"an event with the name [DOMContentLoade], <del>which does not bubble</del>
(except where otherwise stated [it *is* stated]) and is not cancelable
<del>(except where otherwise stated)</del>, and which uses the Event interface,
must be created and dispatched at the given target [Document]."

So this is just a regular Event, which is defined in DOM3 Events and DOM4.

My conclusion is that this is a satisfactory definition of DOMContentLoaded.
