I think the sole reason we have DOMFocusIn, DOMFocusOut, and DOMActivate is political. I'm not sure if that changed to backwards compatibility at this point, but I doubt it. DOMFocusIn and DOMFocusOut have been retained on request of the Forms WG and for DOMActivate I do not really remember. Fact of the matter is that focus/blur/click work fine and already are platform independent and much better understood by authors of Web applications. I'd be very happy if could consider yet again dropping DOMFocusIn/DOMFocusOut/DOMActivate. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
