Research direction

Compare the File API's loadstart dispatch behavior with XMLHttpRequest and the Firefox behavior described in the issue. Determine whether synchronous dispatch is intended for consistency, then identify the relevant specification text and record the agreed behavior; the issue does not name files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Firefox does this apparently and others do not, but consistency across APIs might make this worth it?
