Well, yes. However, D3E talks a lot about "default action". Instead, it should
talk about a particular action occurring (such as the user pressing a key) as
part of a system-level task and that action should then cause a number of steps
to happen:

1. Gather enough data to create the appropriate event object.
2. Dispatch the created event at a node that is also determined somehow.
3. Check the event's canceled flag to see whether any "default action"
can happen at this point.

Note that I left a ton of stuff vague here. We should try to be less vague in
the specification.
