Breaking up D3E into modules, such as "core", "keyboard", "mouse", etc, is a good thing. I've proposed this action in the past, as have others and Doug (the maintainer of D3E) disagreed then and now. The parts of D3E that are made redundant can be removed from D3E. A clean extraction and cooperation won't come without conflict. Although I defiantly[1] agree with modularization of D3E, I'm not sure if events belong in DOM core. It makes DOM core a "this and that", not just a "this" formally speaking, less "cohesive". | DOM Core defines the event and document model the Web platform uses. That says that DOM Core defines two different things: events and DOM. Some things might implement DOM Events Core (or a subinterface thereof) but are unrelated to the DOM. Like XHR. Could Events Core exist on its own? (You could make DOM Core conformance require Events Core conformance). -- Garrett [1]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-dom/2010OctDec/0133.html
