ISSUE-32: Accessibility and UI events - how to improve the interaction

There are a number of problems with accessibility which are becoming even more 
prominent with the wider range of devices on the web, where authors rely on 
events from a particular kind of user input.

mousein/out, focusin/out / focus/blur generally reflect the same user intent, 
but their specs and implementation are generally pretty different. Which makes 
it difficult either for authors, who have to do a bunch of redundant stuff they 
decide to avoid, or users who just can't activate the functionality the author 
tried to provide.

Should there be mouse up / down fired for a generic activation?

(This is the motivation that gets click to work generically, and hopefully won'
t arise with drag and drop...).
