Event type vs. name

Sorry for my potentially silly question - I realize I am being too literal.

The current 1.2 Tiny specification states:

"ev:event = "<string>" 
	The name of the event to handle. See event list <interact.html>  for
a list of all supported events.
"

However, DOM3 Event does not have a 'name' attribute. In this context, is
name meant to map to the DOM3 Event type?

Thanks.
