onload solution

[Benoit Bezaire <benoit@itedo.com>]

Hi all,

  As agreed from today's telecon, here is the proposal for the
  'onload' issue. The solution only addresses the loading of WebCGM
  files via the 'object' tag. If other group members want to have
  'onload' event handling not using the 'object' tag, they will have
  to make their own proposal.

  The spec wording of section 3.4 should change from:
  "The user supplies the name of an event handler that the viewer
  shall invoke upon the 'onload' event. This param element and handler
  allows for script writers to manipulate the WebCGM DOM at the point
  at which the user agent has fully parsed the object tag and its
  descendants and is ready to render the object to the screen."

  to:
  "The user supplies the name of an event handler that the viewer
  shall invoke upon the @@'onload' event. Note: subsequent
  modification of the user agent's source file using the DOM will
  cause the 'onload' event to be dispatched."

  and the 'onload' event definition (5.7.10) should be changed from:
  "The load event occurs when the WebCGM DOM implementation finishes
  loading all content within a WebCGM metafile."

  to:
  "The load event occurs when the user agent has fully loaded all
  content within a WebCGM metafile and is ready to render the
  WebCGM metafile to the screen."
