1) I am very happy to see that you have specified almost every event as cancelable. 2) I like how you are enforcing tag/style/programmatic registration to coexist. I would also like to see you specify that events that can be added via one mechanism can be added via the others. There are examples in IE where inline event specifying: <tag id="abc" onxxx="xxhandler( );">....</tag> doesn't work but <script for="abc" event="xxx"> ... </script> does. This really sucks big and should be purged... 3) I would like to see an events attribute modeled after the style attribute ala <tag id="xyz" style="border: solid; background-color: red;" events="mouseover: onMouseOver( ); mouseout: onMouseOut( ); click: onClick( );"> so that all events including non-DOM defined ones could pass validation as well as well-formed-ness. validation has this problem today with "expando" tag attributes which are handy for HTML authors who aren't script savy and some sort of "expando" attribute would have nicely solved this. Feel free to add this too ubt certainly make sure events don't suffer similarly... thanks johnl
