That's true, but I'm hoping that it can be an event that can be registered
for, and than either allowed through, or acted on and cancelled.

You could do that by cancelling the proposed 'back' event.

But there are some situations where 'back' feels like the right metaphor to
the user, even if it has the effect of 'undo'. I agree with whoever it was
that gave the example of Gmail--how many times have you opened an email, and
then pressed 'back' to return to the inbox, only to find yourself navigating
away.
