We came to a resolution on 31 MAR 2014 [1] that the canvas element would receive
the event.  We further discussed the mechanics of this approach with Philippe on
14 APR 2014 and concluded that the ID of the region will be included in that
event and the developer can do what they wish with it [2].  This should be
forward compatible and easily implementable for L1.
