Thanks for the info. Very useful.

Only documents; media elements don't use 'readystatechange' events (they 
have specific events for specific readyState transitions).

This is what I'm leaning towards at the moment. Are there any objections 
to removing the readyState support from <script> (reverting r6543) and 
moving onreadystatechange to HTMLDocument exclusively?

Specific event names don't bubble or not bubble, only specific events 
bubble or not. I think this would lose a large part of the simplification 
benefit. However, if this turns out to be a more systemic problem, we will 
of course have to consider courses of action such as this one.
