Progress Events

[Olli Pettay]

Hi all,

Because the user agent must support DOM events, the following text
could be removed:
"User agents must ensure that these events trigger event listeners
attached on Element nodes for that event and on the capture and target
phases."
That text is anyway a bit strange, especially when progress events are
used with XHR.

And it would be great to mark chapters to be either normative or
non-normative. And numbering the chapters would be great
too.

The text is a bit strange. It was added in response to Ian's mail saying
he had difficuly understanding which requirements applied to which
implementations, as part of the attempt to provide more explicit
requirements. There is no formal requirement in the current draft that
user agents implement DOM events - but perhaps that would be a simpler way
of setting the requirement?

I agree, and will do both of these for or before the next public draft.

cheers and thanks for the comments
