Some Event Generation Order consideration

As above, some changes of DOM caused by certain API can emit multiple Events. In some situation, the DOM spec define the order of the events. For example, when an Attr is removed from an element, the implementation should send the following events as the following order:

DOMNodeRemoved
DOMAttrModified
DOMSubtreeModified

But in other situation, the events order are not specified. For example, when an Attr is added to an element, the implement should may send:

DOMNodeInserted
DOMAttrModified
DOMSubtreeModified

or

DOMAttrModified
DOMNodeInserted
DOMSubtreeModified

The point here is, the DOMAttrModified and DOMNodeInserted can be dispatched in any order, but the DOMSubtreeModified event should always the last event after bunch of events.
