           Summary: dispatchEvent should raise INVALID_STATE_ERR, not
                    DISPATCH_REQUEST_ERR, if its argument is being
                    dispatched

Bug 64150 made dispatchEvent raise DISPATCH_REQUEST_ERR if its argument is already being dispatched, per the DOM 3 Events spec:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20110531/#events-EventTarget-dispatchEvent>

Raising an exception is right, however DOM Core specifies that it should raise INVALID_STATE_ERR:
