Hi everyone, The Web API working group is currently working on DOM Level 3 Events, trying to get it into shape to be a REC-track specification. Even though I am on the WG I have decided to make my comments in public, based on the published Note, so that anyone who wants to can participate in the discussion. http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/events.html Here are some features in DOM Level 3 Events that I think are poorly justified: - Event.stopImmediatePropagation (and related CustomEvent isImmediatePropagationStopped) - EventTarget.willTriggerNS - EventTarget.hasEventListenerNS - evtGroup parameter to addEventListenerNS What problems do these solve that the Level 2 event dispatch model does not cover? Many event dispatch models work just fine without these features, and I do not know of great author demand for them. Therefore I propose removing these, unless there is some strong justification for their presence. Regards, Maciej
