Hi Sergey,

This behavior is already defined. If one calls dispatchEvent() with an event object already being dispatched, then a DISPATCH_REQUEST_ERR exception is thrown. [1]

Since this is already specified, no changes to the spec were made. Let us know if you have additional comments or concerns on this issue.

Thanks,

Jacob

I could not find details regarding if it is legal to call dispatchEvent
function with an event object that is already being propagated as its
argument.

Should this result into exception?
