           Summary: Calling initEvent after event dispatch should not
                    reinitialize the event
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Event Handling
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dominicc at chromium.org


Per the DOM 3 Events spec draft:

<http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html#events-event-type-initEvent>

At r91186, initEvent is a no-op if the event is _being_ dispatched, but the event can be reinitialized after dispatch is done. However the spec says that initEvent should be a no-op: "This method has no effect if called after the event has been dispatched."

DOM 2 Events also specifies this, albeit in less specific language.
