What would be the observable difference if the event was not cancellable? If none, it would make sense to me to make it not cancellable to avoid the same confusion that you had. I don't see any value in claiming that something is cancellable, which canceling has no effect. I'd even say that goes against the spirit of the DOM-Events spec. / Jonas
