[Bug 23240] Normatively specify that right/middle mouse button presses do not cause click/dblclick events

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23240

--- Comment #17 from Glenn Maynard <glenn@zewt.org> ---
Exposing clicks for other buttons in some way seems reasonable.  It's
nontrivial to emulate click using mousedown and mouseup, since the particular
behavior (whether to fire a click or not) is up to the platform.  It probably
makes more sense to have "rightclick" and "middleclick" events rather than
reincarnating the .button property on a new event.

But, what are the use cases for doing this for dblclick?  I don't think I've
ever seen a UI with "double-right-click".  (It's not even possible to
double-right-click on Macbooks.)  A new event shouldn't be added just because
it's hard to do manually, if nobody actually wants to do it.
