Actual results:

Expected results:

even.type === 'end';

oh, bizarre bug.

(new Event("end")).type 
in browser console is enough to show the issue.

zoom, begin and repeat have similar issues.


thinking how to fix this... the issue is that we map the same internal event type to two
different dom event types.
For the SMIL events, beginEvent/endEvent/repeatEvent are the actual event types (unfortunately) but their event handler attributes are onbegin/onend/onrepeat.  So e.initEvent("end") should not be anything related to beginEvent.  Similarly for e.initEvent("zoom").

Would it work to skip the insertion of the entry for "begin", etc. into sStringEventTable in nsContentUtils::InitializeEventTable (maybe by adding a flag to the EventNameType field that we can check)?  Then a string lookup of "begin" would not find anything, but an atom lookup of nsGkAtoms::onbegin would find the entry.

I'd have to check that all uses of GetEventId are really only caring about event handler attributes, and GetEventClassID/GetEventIdAndAtom are really only caring about event types.

(The cleanest solution would be to have separate fields for the event handler attribute name and the event type, but that's probably a waste of memory just to handle these few SVG events correctly.)

This is an issue with the SpeechSynthesisUtterance end event as well:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/speech-api/raw-file/tip/speechapi.html#dfn-utteranceonend

I would like to create proper event ids, and add the events to the name mapping, but that is not possible since the SMIL end event already has an entry.
