I don't wish to propose changes at this point or to disturb consensus, but I
would like to raise a point of clarification.

It is plain from the description of IndieUI Events 1.0 that providing an API
allowing Web applications to query or define the mapping of device-independent
to device-specific events would be out of scope for the current task force.
That is, establishing the relationship between "low-level" events and abstract
events is left entirely to the UA, but Web applications still receive and can
optionally handle the lower-level events.

While this seems entirely reasonable to me (at least for version 1.0), I just
wish to clarify that it is the result of a deliberate decision to confine the
scope of the specification in this way from the outset, at least for version
1.0.
