Description
Would be good to add support for preventing default actions of events.
One idea on how this might work: add an API that's something like `preventEventDefaultAction` to `HTMLElement`. This would allow replacing something like this:
```js
myForm.addEventListener('submit', (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
// ...
});
```
With this:
```js
myForm.preventEventDefaultAction('submit', true);
myForm.addEventListener('submit', (event) => {
// ...
});
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the HTMLElement event API and the addEventListener handling described in the issue. Clarify the intended semantics for preventing a submit default action, then identify the relevant event tests and define coverage for the proposed API without changing existing event behavior.
