Fw: [D4E] Spec Feedback

Hi Travis,

Would you be able to answer the question below?

Please see below. SVG is stuck determining what specs. it needs to
reference wrt. events as we are trying to better align SVG2 with HTML in
version 2.

It appears like you are moving the actual events from DOM 3 into the UI
Events spec. but that was not completely reflected in your first public
working draft as you have event constructors for things like Focus Events
but till refer to DOM 3 events farther down in the spec.

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Gary,

I am an editor on the SVG spec. and am working on our event specification
reference for the events we support.

I started to work on referring to the new UI Events Specification:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/d4e/raw-file/default/source_respec.htm#goals which
defined KeyboardEvent and MouseEvent, etc.

But then your TR working draft went out a day later:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-uievents-20130725/   Both documents have the
same date.

A fundamental difference between these two specs. Is that you went from
defining the event name to defining the event constructor in the TR draft
and then you refer in the TR spec you refer to the DOM 3 spec which I was
told was not being rec. tracked by another W3C working group member:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/

The DOM3 spec has not been updated since September 2012.

Is the DOM3 spec. going away?
Where should we refer to when referring to the actual events? e.g.
KeyboardEvent.
