Yes, I provided a list of the RC events defined/used by a number of
different standards/specifications.

The more interesting question (than simply scoping this to "major

provides a RC. I'm not sure that support by browsers predominantly used on
devices that *do not* employ a RC is particularly relevant.

I agree that such review and feedback would be useful as part of this
activity.
