Hi Ian, > Having said all this, it is unclear to me exactly what it > means for the DOM Events spec to have these events, and so > I'm unsure as to whether it makes any sense to discuss > "adding" or "removing" events from this spec. On the one hand, the DOMFocusIn and Out events are in the DOM 2 Events spec, and have been for nearly six years. So to deprecate them in favour of blur and focus when DOM 3 Events comes out, would be to "remove" functionality (their bubbliness). But do you mean that really they should be in a separate spec? That DOM 3 Events should focus on the architecture, whilst the actual naming and behaviour of the events themselves should be elsewhere? If so, I for one would certainly agree with that, especially since many events will be little 'clusters' based around some defined functionality. A much smaller, leaner spec purely concentrating on control navigation could describe these events.
