This doesn't fulfil my action item, but it is a start. In HTML 4: Allow the user to configure mouseover/mouseout events to be fired by (and to fire) focus/blur events. Similarly, allow the user to use a key command, such as enter and shift-enter to fire onclick and ondblclick events. Implement DOM2 events (currently in draft) with a single activation event and provide a method of firing it from each supported input device or input API. These should be the same as the click events and mappings provided above (but note that a user agent which is also an editor may wish to use single click events for moving a system caret, and want to provide a different behaviour to activate using the mouse). For example, Amaya uses a "doAction" command for activating links and form controls, which can be triggered either by the mouse (and it is possible to set it for single-click or double-click) or by the keyboard (it is ossible to set it for any key using Amaya's keyboard configuration) make scripts available to users so they can determine the likely effects in advance.
