More specifically, I'm suggesting that IDBRequest inherit from EventTarget [1].Hey all,I'm starting to work on a prototype of the IndexedDB spec to get a better understanding of it. While working with the IDBRequest I think I understand why nobody likes the current event-based model. I'm also seeing that as it is currently specified, it doesn't meet the requirements of the web developers we had talked to were looking for in an event based API (per the latest editors draft on March 16). Essentially, what they wanted was a way to add more than one listener for success or error, and it doesn't look like that is currently possible unless you roll your own callback that manages this (which they wanted to avoid doing). As they described it, they wanted to be able to use something like addEventListener with the option of also just setting onsuccess and onerror (much like how XHR works).
