Just for my own understanding, what you're saying is:
1) Any event name in the stream must be a valid event name in that it
must not have spaces, special characters, etc. (The wording in the spec
made me think that it must be an event name that is listed in the DOM
Events spec, such as click.)
Yes, although it is not clear whether per the current DOM Events
specification an event name with a space would be invalid.
2) When you define an custom event name, this still fires the message
event with event.type set to the custom event name.
Well, it dispatches an event that uses the MessageEvent interface. But
e.g. a function attached to onmessage will not be invoked, as the event is
not named message, but something else. So you need
obj.addEventListener(customEvent, ...).
