See Issue naming-1. The fact that it's still listed as an open issue suggests that no decision has yet been made, or at least had been made as of February when that draft was released. Personal reaction: I don't see anything inherently wrong with the concept of using namespaces to help identify events... but I'm also not sure that needs to be explicitly supported in the DOM right now. Making the namespaceURI part of the event name string does achieve most of the same goals, with possibly less storage overhead but possibly more computational overhead. One thing that approach doesn't do is let you listen for all events in a given namespace, but we don't have listen-for-all-events for non-namespaced events and there's been no demand for it... I suspect that what's needed here is a genuine use case or three, both to justify adding the feature and to guide what it should look like. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
