I don't think confusion is likely because "intention event" is a unique phrase which can have a defined meaning in the context of specifications. The description also seems apt: what these events capture is the user's intention or purpose in performing the action that causes the events to be dispatched. Any proposed terminology will have its detractors. It is important to define it clearly and use it consistently. ________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may contain privileged or confidential information.
