The spec says HTMLElement, by way of GlobalEventHandlers and "HTMLElement implements GlobalEventHandlers": http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/webappapis.html#globaleventhandlers http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/elements.html#htmlelement Gecko has "HTMLElement implements GlobalEventHandlers" in its IDL,[1] but somewhat surprisingly also "SVGElement implements GlobalEventHandlers".[2] I'm trying to add GlobalEventHandlers IDL in Blink [3] to reduce code duplication, where the current state of things is that the onfoo event handler attributes are on Element, not HTMLElement. I can see two options: 1. Do what Gecko does, even though there's no SVG spec requiring it yet. 2. Just say "Element implements GlobalEventHandlers". I would prefer option 2, since we already have a unified "Document implements GlobalEventHandlers". Would other browser vendors be OK with this change?
