286014 - Toolkit autocomplete code fires DOM* events it made up

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Autocomplete, defect, P3)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The satchel and passwordmgr code seems to use a DOMAutoComplete event for its
internal communication.  Now using an event is fine, but naming it DOM* is
probably rather suspect unless it's actually an event that's dispatched by the
DOM (and an event that won't conflict with future DOM specs, even then, I would
think).

Perhaps this code should namespace the event appropriately?  Does the DOM
provide  a reasonable way to namespace event names?

Still an issue liable to bite us if the DOM spec introduces such an event.
