Example test case

Sandboxed iframes that do not set `allow-scripts` do not seem to fire `DOMContentLoaded`. Here's a quick example

        const iframe = document.createElement('iframe')

        iframe.setAttribute('sandbox', 'allow-same-origin')
        iframe.src = './other'
        document.body.append(iframe)

        iframe.contentWindow.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
            console.log('loaded');
        });


The event is fired if the iframe is not sandboxed or if `allow-scripts` is included in the sandbox. The sandboxed iframe does fire events in Chrome and Firefox. 

This is similar to https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33604 but for sandboxed iframes

The same also seems to happen for the `load` event.

This continues to behave as reported. Chrome says "Blocked script execution" in console, but the event actually gets dispatched.

Seems pretty bad, as there is no reasonable way to detect that a sandboxed frame is done loading in WebKit, so this just prompts authors to add otherwise unnecessary allow-scripts.
