I'd like to have the concrete list, because in the event model all
attributes are initialized before the event is dispatched and they do
not change. That's the way init*Event() and now event constructors
work. offset* (and a few others on MouseEvent) might be special
because they were added later on and were not really standardized (I
made an attempt in CSSOM View for MouseEvent extensions but did not
cover this peculiarity).
