Re: html5, details node, events

How does one go about filing an official request to have an event 
handler added to expand/collapse of the details node in the HTML5 spec?

It seems to me that it is clearly necessary and once browser vendors 
start adding it they will see the need as well, I would hate for 
different browsers to come up with different mechanisms resulting in a 
need to detect browser features when using details.

Thank you for the chrome bug report. It seems to me that Opera is the 
only browser that correctly interprets an Enter as a click for not 
anchor/form elements that have tabindex=0 set.
