I sincerely apologize for the completely dropping off the radar - TL:DR; version of the answer
is that it looks good to me. Thanks a lot of following up on this.

Long version of the answer is that we still don't have a conclusion what the "next spatnav"
will look like, and that affects what to say quite a lot (as in, if it's a magnetic virtual cursor
it should behave more mouse like, but if it's like old spatnav then it's a bit fuzzy what to do)

The changes leave it open for the implementors to do whatever as long as they don't end
up shooting their own foot, so this is good compromise moving forward.

It also covers my recent question (that I never managed to ask to the list) which is how to
deal with AT generated interactions, so I'm a happy camper.
