I don't think that is sufficient reason not to remove DOMActivate. What is the use case?

It is far more likely existing content uses focus and blur. At least as far as Web browsers are concerned and I think it would make sense to evaluate a solution for Web browsers here in isolation since not bloating the focus API would be great. > but that all implementation should use the replacement events instead. > Unless they have a market need, implementations that don't already > support deprecated events should not support them in future versions. Then I do not see much value in deprecation. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
