[whatwg] StorageEvents on Storage mutation

From section 4.10.2:
-----
When the setItem() method is invoked, events are fired on other
HTMLDocument objects that can access the newly stored data, as defined
in the sections on the sessionStorage and localStorage attributes.
The removeItem(key) method must cause the key/value pair with the
given key to be removed from the list associated with the object, if
it exists. If no item with that key exists, the method must do nothing.
-----
The SessionStorage and LocalStorage sections go on to mention only
firing events resulting from setItem(). It seems kind of weird that
we fire StorageEvents for one form of mutation of a Storage object,
but not for the other form.
Shouldn't removeItem() cause a StorageEvent to fire, as well? If this
was a purposeful omission, I'm curious as to why! :)
