In existing de facto Window UAs, the Window object is an

mention it in DOM Events as a requirement on UAs that also implement
Window? Or should we defer it to a future spec?
If it happens for every event, but only for Window, not for other
global
scopes, then it should be in the Window spec.
If it happens for only certain events, it should be in the specs that
define those events.
If it happens for all global scopes and isn't specific to Window it
should
be in the DOM Events spec.
I believe it is the first of these, but I wouldn't know where to find
non-Window global scopes that nontheless somehow relate to a DOM. Did
you have any in mind?
Would SVGGlobal be an example of such? I am not sure if any SVGGlobal
implementations have the behavior I describe, or for that matter
whether such implementations should be considered as not at least
trying to implement a Window object.
