In an XUL document, upon the successful loading of an iframe element, I have
observed the bubbling of the load event, triggering the parent window's onload
script(s). According to the current W3 DOM specifications, the load event should
not bubble (see the table in this section -
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/NOTE-DOM-Level-3-Events-20031107/events.html#Events-EventTypes-complete).
I will attach a testcase XUL document.

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: Testcase XUL document.

Simple XUL testcast. Notice how the alert occurs twice!

This is a known issue in XUL; we have a bug on it already....
