Doesn't this trigger bad side effects with all those sites which want to
set "event" for browsers that didn't support it (NS 4?)

I see e.g. sites doing 
if (oldbrowser) event=null;

This is to prevent event being undefined on NS4 (iirc), but won't this break
khtml since the real "event" won't be accessible anymore?

Did you test whether 'event' was writeable in IE?
