The text is a bit strange. It was added in response to Ian's mail saying
he had difficuly understanding which requirements applied to which
implementations, as part of the attempt to provide more explicit
requirements. There is no formal requirement in the current draft that
user agents implement DOM events - but perhaps that would be a simpler way
of setting the requirement?

I agree, and will do both of these for or before the next public draft.
