I have taken a look at all of the events in WebKit, the relevant specs, and whether the events are used (using Code Search.) Here is what I think we should do. For convenience I am just going to mention the event interface name, but I mean init*Event:

These are ones we already removed:

ErrorEvent (bug 71338), MediaStreamEvent (bug 71344), TrackEvent (never implemented)

I think we can remove these:

BeforeLoadEvent (bug 71636), CloseEvent (bug 71374), OverflowEvent, PageTransitionEvent, PopStateEvent, ProgressEvent (bug 71340), WebKitAnimationEvent, WebKitTransitionEvent

We *might* be able to remove these:

StorageEvent—used by Unhosted; HashChangeEvent—used by Ample SDK.

I think we can remove these, but we need to file bugs against the specs to get the specs updated:

AudioProcessingEvent, DeviceMotionEvent, DeviceOrientationEvent, WebGLContextEvent

And for completeness, these are the untouchables—we can’t remove these, it seems hordes of people use them:

CompositionEvent, CustomEvent (YUI), Event, KeyboardEvent, MessageEvent, MouseEvent, MutationEvent, TextEvent, TouchEvent, UIEvent, WheelEvent
