The DocumentEvent interface is defined in the W3C Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Events Specification. (Refer to http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Events-20001113.)

The DocumentEvent interface provides a mechanism by which the user can create an Event of a type supported by the implementation. It is expected that the DocumentEvent interface will be implemented on the same object which implements the Document interface in an implementation which supports the Event model.
