At the FTF meeting we proposed a revised set of checkpoints related to elements with event handlers. I feel that one of the new checkpoints should be a priority 2: New Checkpoint 7.X The user must be able to configure the user agent so that moving the content focus to an enabled element does not automatically activate any of the associated actions. I think this should be Priority 2 for the following reasons: 1. It is repair function. We say we want device independent event handlers and now we say we no automatic event handling. 2. This is a new requirement and was not part of any previous proposals or discussions on this issue. 3. This does not necessarily guarantee access. We already allow people to turn off scripts, so they can look at event handlers without firing them with this feature at a P1 level. This seems like a new special/limited case of turning off scripts.
