Hi Benoit,

One small clarification (ignoring the big issue for the moment)...

 From 5.7.3, the description of the first parameter of addEventListener 
is:  "The event type for which the user is registering, (for example: 
"click", "mouseover")."

It seems clear enough to me, that the example should be:
metafile.addEventListener("load", myLoadFunction).
I.e., the first parameter is the name of the event, not the name of the 
event listener.

How about this disambiguation:  in the 5.7.3 description (quoted above) of 
the 'type' parameter of the addEventListener method, link "event type" to 
the event list at the end of 5.7.10?
