Description

The data in https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/11791 is likely wrong for the reasons outlined in https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/11881#issuecomment-896595350.

https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/94493/webkit added window.CompositionEvent and that happened in Chrome 15, but instances of the event interface were probably supported before that.

Research direction

Review PR 11791 and the comment on PR 11881 first, then compare their claims with WebKit changeset 94493 and the stated Chrome 15 timing. Done means the CompositionEvent compatibility data distinguishes exposing the interface from earlier support for event instances.
